Hello, your computer isn’t performing the speeds you’re used to anymore. I’ve faced this issue before and haven’t found a permanent fix until it returned to normal. It lasted about 3 to 5 weeks (I don’t recall exactly) and then suddenly everything worked again without any changes on my part. Now I’m experiencing similar problems where downloads sit around 50-60Mbps and uploads reach 400Mbps, which is lower than expected. The setup involves a Wi-Fi repeater—though it doesn’t consistently deliver 500Mbps upload. My brother also uses the same repeater and has about 400Mbps both ways. I’ve tried switching cables and connections, but nothing helps. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks. (what I have now) vs what I used to have.)
Your hardware:
- Motherboard: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING (AM4)
- CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
- GPU: GTX 1070
- Storage: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-60WN4A0 (SATA) + 223GB Corsair Force LS SSD (SATA, SSD)
- Connection: Wired, running on a ZYXEL VMG8825-B60C router in Norway.
The wireless repeater will slightly reduce bandwidth at the client side because some data must travel over the wireless link to reach the main gateway or router. Since your download speeds aren’t matching expected performance even when directly connected, the issue likely lies with the router/modem or your ISP connection. Start by power-cycling it—switch it off for a few minutes then back on—to test if that resolves the problem. If not, examine the admin settings for QoS or bandwidth restrictions, possibly tied to IP or MAC address. Also, perform speed tests during off-peak times (like late night or early morning) to confirm the issue isn’t intermittent. This should help determine whether the problem is with your equipment or your internet service.
