Hi,
I got my new PC Specialist laptop yesterday and it's brilliant, really happy apart from 1 annoying little thing. I upgraded to get the killer wifi card and at home my router is split into 2 channels: 2g and 5g. When I connect to my 5g signal which gives a much quicker internet experience, for about 5 minutes or so, weirdly, my laptop internet speed is very slow. Speed tests show it not going above 2.5 mb and then literally, give it 5 - 10 minutes, the speed check will then show 30 - 35mb (which is what I expect for my internet).
The browsing experience during the slow time is awful and I cannot think what could be causing this. I've maximised power for the card, so no battery saving and i've updated device drivers. But always, for the first 5 minutes or so, its a snail.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Here is the full spec of my laptop:
