Unusual internet behavior observed online.
I recently replaced my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Gigabyte B550I Pro AX mini ITX with an Intel i5-12600K and Asus Prime Z690M-D4 boards. Since then, my internet performance has changed noticeably. Previously, I could stream 4K YouTube videos smoothly without any issues. Now, watching 1080p content is difficult, and when YouTube auto-streams, it often displays at the lowest resolution available. Oddly enough, Ookla’s speedtest.net reports download speeds between 800-900 Mb/s and upload speeds of 600-700 Mb/s. Google’s test shows similar download rates but much slower uploads under 1 Mb/s. To add to the confusion, online multiplayer games and Discord chats run without any noticeable lag. Device Manager lists my network adapter as an Intel Ethernet Connection (17) I219-V, whereas my previous Gigabyte board used a Realtek adapter. I’m connected via Gigabit ethernet through Verizon FiOS. Could you assist? Thank you in advance!
Did you use the old boot drive from the AMD system? If yes, perform a complete reinstall; alternating between them usually fails completely. Otherwise, did you obtain the Intel driver for the I219? You can typically find it in the Downloads area of your motherboard's support page, or through Intel's website.
A complete reinstall was performed this morning, but it didn’t resolve my issue with YouTube or Gmail. Other services like Steam downloads, Prime Video, and 4K Floatplane functioned perfectly. After waking up from sleep, YouTube now loads smoothly without buffering most of the time. It’s strange how a single streaming service can cause this problem, but thank you for your assistance—this seems fixed!
