Problem with uploading files on the internet using Windows 10
Problem with uploading files on the internet using Windows 10
Check the available drivers for each NIC. Confirm if they represent the newest versions from their respective makers.
The official updates for my Gigabyte Z87 come from 2014. I’m switching to the latest Intel versions using my Intel NIC. On other machines, older releases exist because those systems aren’t used much, making troubleshooting on Broadwell really frustrating due to its slow performance.
My connection in the whole apartment is excellent. That wouldn't account for the problem on Ethernet as well.
While reviewing your case, I considered several factors: How network activity appears in Task Manager? Are any computers handling significant data transfers over the internet? What are your Windows network and internet preferences? Are there restrictions applied (I’ll verify if anything was recently changed)? Have you attempted the Windows Troubleshooter for the affected network interface cards? This typically doesn’t cause problems and sometimes resolves them. Have you tried resetting the network interface cards? This might indicate a configuration issue. Are your neighbors experiencing increased bandwidth usage (e.g., new streaming services)? Are you all connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or do you have separate subscriptions? Are your devices operating on the same wireless channels, or are you switching them to different ones (2.4/5GHz)? Have you experimented by swapping the network interface cards or cables between devices to see if performance changes? These steps help distinguish whether the problem stems from software or hardware. If it’s software-based, the issue should resolve after relocating the NIC to a new PCIe slot or a different computer (requiring driver reinstallation). If it’s related to environmental factors or hardware, the problem should remain even after changing the NICs.
All equipment removed except my PC linked through Ethernet. TaskManager Send/Receive remains idle at 0kb/s, occasionally jumping to 16kb/s before returning. When attempting uploads, speeds stay below 2Mbps.
QoS turned off. The registry allocating 20% bandwidth for Windows Update was also cleared, ensuring no other restrictions exist.
No anomalies detected under normal conditions.
Multiple attempts show consistent performance.
Only my PC is connected; other devices remain offline during testing to confirm bandwidth impact.
Most wireless gadgets (phones, TVs) operate on 5GHz. I use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Throughout the house, I experience full 5GHz coverage, resulting in stable local transfers and minimal interference.
Switching cables didn’t help. The NICs are built-in, so relocating them isn’t possible. Likely the issue lies with Windows 10 or my router (ASUS AC1200 G+).
If it’s the router, why does upload function correctly on Android and Linux devices via WiFi and Ethernet? For Windows 10, the problem persists across three distinct PCs using both connections.
Honestly, the other two PCs aren’t critical—they’re meant for local use only. The slow upload speed affects my primary machine significantly, while it’s merely a minor concern elsewhere.
I charge for a 100/10Mbps link, it's exclusive to me, no one else shares my connection.
