Slower internet when connected via cable might indicate a PCIe problem or other connectivity issues.
Slower internet when connected via cable might indicate a PCIe problem or other connectivity issues.
I recently relocated and configured my home office setup. My internet performance appeared sluggish, with upload speeds hovering near 1Mbps. A speed test confirmed this issue. I connected a Wi-Fi extender and router to the same spots, but the problem persisted. When switching to a wired connection on my Windows laptops, there was no speed degradation. I updated my BIOS and turned off all startup programs, yet the issue continued. My system specs are: Windows 10 Home v10.0.19044 Build 19044 ROG STRIX B450-F (BIOS version 4901, latest), AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3400 MHz. I’m unsure what steps to take next.
You just finished a fresh window replacement but the issue is still there.
You have a PCIe network card installed, but it isn’t appearing in your network adapter list. You’ve tried placing it in different ports, which suggests there might be an issue with the motherboard itself. Your phone still shows up when connected, so the connection works at least on that front.
