    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Hi Rustys, I agree with that and in fact I discovered the problem originally through that very process. I was finding that I was getting terribly slow downloads of work related files on the affected PC but not so when using the other one. As far as deleting the other network adapters from...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Hello. Sorry for the delay in returning to the matter. So just to recap, I received a new modem from Comcast and installed it. At the same time I performed a network reset on the problematic PC. I have definitely seen an improvement in download speed, upload speed was never affected. I seem to...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Well, much disappointed to report this morning that, despite a solid and decent WIFI speed yesterday throughout the day after setting up the new modem, speeds on the problem PC have settled to a lower value - even lower than the 112 number I saw before. Now it seems I'm getting 60-80 Mbps! This...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Hey Rustys, I never thought about the xfinity WIFI participation. I will disable it as I don't require it myself anyway. Here is what has happened today. The a new xfinity modem has arrived. I have set it up but as a completely new network - new name etc. - and during activation I chose not...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Reporting back: I disconnected every device from the network (ethernet and WIFI) and unplugged those devices I wanted to be absolutely certain were actually disconnected (2 x smart TV's, XBOX console) to the state where the only connected device on the network was the affected PC. I verified...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Hi Peter, Sorry to sound like a broken record but I have done this exact test on numerous occasions, but sincere thanks for your time researching this point. So, when running that particular diagnostic with Xfinity it detects no problem because it is seems to be just measuring against certain...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Thanks again Rustys. I am having a problem getting into the admin panel on this modem because the default username and password don't match what I have in the manual and what Comcast are telling me it is supposed to be so somehow they must have got changed and that wasn't me. Otherwise there is...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Thanks Rusty. I did actually split the bands out into two separate networks and did this a while ago while troubleshooting the same issue. I got the same performance under the second user, I'm afraid. As to the VPN question this is interesting. Right - as we speak - now I am getting 290 ish...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Another thought/question. Since the problem is confined to the WIFI connection only (ethernet connection works fine) I was debating whether or not a mesh device or extender such as the xFi product my ISP offers might help. Obviously the problem is not a signal strength/coverage issue as I am...

    Slow WiFi speed on *one* PC

    Update: I disabled IPV6 per PeterOz's advice. After a reboot there is no change and speed is still as before. Furthermore the second PC is getting throttled back also to a similar speed whilst an iPhone and an iPad running a speed test from the same location both get 690 Mbps. It seems that the...
