Hi there! I've noticed my internet connection is much slower on my new PC than on other devices in the house. Most get about 450mbps download, but mine only reaches around 30mbps—roughly a 93% drop. To check if the problem was with Windows, I tried running Linux from a USB and it worked fine. This affects both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. I've already tried several fixes: restarting, resetting network settings, tweaking some options, changing the Ethernet port, restarting the router, updating drivers, and even reinstalling Windows twice. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm hoping for some guidance from someone who can help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's achievable since I faced the same problem you did—visiting the motherboard site to download the latest drivers for your LAN card. I completed that and it functioned smoothly, no more issues since then. Just remember to read quickly and pay attention to the section mentioning trying various drivers.

Check the motherboard website or use Device Manager to find the information.

I changed the driver yesterday and did it again just now. (I didn’t uninstall, I just ran the update from ASUS.) It didn’t work, unfortunately.

Confirmed, the device manager indicates I already possess the optimal drivers.

It depends on the issue you're facing. Resetting Windows without keeping apps can restore it but may lose your data. Consider backing up first if possible.

I reinstalled Windows and that resolved the internet issue thus far.
