Last week, I bought a new PC. I use the fastest speed of Internet I could get from Spectrum. However, my PC gets horrible Wi-Fi. When I run a speed test from my PC, it fluctuates from 0 bps to 30 mbps within 10 seconds, and sometimes it will lose connection to the internet altogether (I lost connection twice while typing this out). Whenever I run the same speed test on my phone in the same room, I get 100+ mbps. Can anyone help me? Wired internet is not an option as my house does not have the ports for it.
You didn’t say if your wifi is 2.4 or 5 GHz or both or if the computer has only 1 flavor or both. check to see if both are on same band. Also possible that wifi from router or on the computer is sketchy even though it is new. I have an external adapter that I plug in whenever I’m trying to troubleshoot something like this. Helps to narrow down possibilities. Think it was less than $20 on amazon. Good luck.
If it has an Intel NIC update the drivers, and honestly just buy a new pice NIC because the Intel ones in most motherboards are trash.
