Iβve had my pc for nearly a year now and built it myself, the internet has always been pretty bad but I assumed it was to do with using WIFI so when I had a cat8 ethernet cable installed through the house so it reached my room I hoped for my internet to be improved but after many driver updates and tests it is the same and sometimes worse? Iβm averaging a 1mb/s connection and for some reason if I unplug it and plug it back in every now and then it spikes to 10mb/s. I would be pleased for this if I wasnβt paying for 500mbps (60 something mb/s connection). When I decided to get my old laptop out and try out the speed on that I see about 40mb/s this is no driver updates from when I got it in around late 2016. If anyone has any advice I feel like Iβve tried every google and YouTube suggestion there is with nothing working. If anyone is interested the laptop model is the Medion Akoya E6421 Core i5-6200U 8GB 1TB 15.6 Inch DVD-RW Windows 10 Laptop and my current pc (I built myself) has: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz processor, 32.0 GB of ram, 64-bit os, 500gb ssd and 1tb hdd Iβm using a mag b550 mortar WIFI with latest drivers and am using windows 11. If anyone could give me some advice/recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

just confirming with your two machines, you connected them both via ethernet, and had the wireless adapter disabled, and your desktop got 1Mbps and the laptop got 40Mbps?
what mechanism did you use to test the speeds, something like speedtest.net -
Yup i used speedtest.net on both and after about 5 or so tests on both they averaged out at about those speedsOriginally posted by BruceComment

same modem, same cable, same connection type, different PCβs - so we can certainly focus attention on the desktop then.
try rebooting the Win11 PC into Safe Mode with networking and see what the speeds are then.Comment
