WiFi Signal Strength Issues: Is it my Hardware?

[Classy]

Can you pause one drive sync and test.

Do you want me to pause it and test the speeds? Right now it’s working fine, so it’d be more of a.. pause it and see if it happens again.

[Classy]

Yes, but that is fine, I need to work on this tool a bit.
There should be a new .txt file named PCHF.txt if it works.
Sorry, this is a tool i am working and i am working out bugs.,

'll leave you with @PeterOz

Last time if this does not work then use MiniToolbox.

Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop.

Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator.
When the program opens select the following boxes:

Flush DNS
Report IE Proxy Settings
Reset IE Proxy Settings
Report FF Proxy Settings
Reset FF Proxy Settings
List content of Hosts
List IP Configuration
List Winsock Entries
List last 10 Event Viewer Errors
List Installed Programs
List Devices (Only Problems)
List Users, Partitions and Memory size

Please post the log in your next reply

Only checks I’ve ran recently were Windows Defender checks. That was 2 days ago

Care to check? That seems suspicious…

If the resource usage shown also displays Palworld (which I have open in the background), and is still higher than should be.. wouldn’t hurt to check

[PeterOz]

Your network card shows as this.

Which is normally a laptop card but can be used with a pc

Yes, I will move this thread to the malware area, Run FRST, and post the logs. @Furtivex will assist further.
