Just checking my wi-fi speeds earlier & noticed quiet a difference between the laptop and phone as can be seen by the pictures below

I would normally say its your phone has wifi 6 but looks like your laptop has as well..... (of course you'll need a wifi 6 router to make the most of it)

Have you checked your router settings to see what channel each device is using?

They are both running on channel 44

Have you opened your laptop and checked for any loose components

LOL

Driver's all up to date?

Other than that, that's all the wi-fi knowledge i have . Making sure your using 5ghz normally solves most peoples problems

 

[Resistance100]

Could be an excuse to buy a new laptop its 2021 now so that CPU might start to get dated

it was a new laptop back the tail end of last year 😂

That was the joke

Whats your normal speeds? It's rare to see your phones wifi speeds pretty much keeping up with you ethernet speeds (on PC)

For reference my wifi speeds before i went to 900Mb internet where about 60% of the speed i would get using a cable.

I'd check the wifi drivers, Windows haven't been very good at driver updates recently, namely with RealTek and some wifi cards.

Check the killer site for updates, it's either currently having issues, or it's my VPN not playing nice with it

killer ax1650 drivers - Google Search

www.google.com

 

[Martinr36]

Just downloaded & installed the killer control center, which includes all the latest drivers, might whip the back off tomorrow just to check antenna connections etc

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Once you've installed the driver, uninstall the killer suite as it's known to cause issues.

Intel bought Killer not that long ago, so it's using Intel chipsets.

Is this down to installing the latest drivers or have you also done something else? I'm interested to know what if anything.

I wish I had Internet speeds like these. God I hate this forum - makes me more depressed than anything. I’m still in a part of Ireland where people think Broadband is the stretchy bit of sweatpants.

it’s been great lurking around these threads though - loads of great advice and solutions to keep in mind in case I have trouble when my own PC gets here. 👍
