Re: My computer's internet connection speed isnt as fast as any other device

Hi there,

to diagnose the propblem we need to know a little more . Lets start here

Are you using wired or wifi connections?

if you are both using  wifi,   what's the distance between your equipment and the router? Wi-fi is only a weak signal in most cases,   dependent on make and model. Is there anything in the way?  Wifi  is distance dependent and is also affected by walls, ceilings, other electrical apparatus and even furniture! I have even known an ironing board to affect a wifi signal  

If you are both using the internet at the same time, and one is wired and one is not, there could well be differences in percived connection speed.

Hello there and welcome to the community forums.

I agree with gpsmout. it'd be useful to know whether your PC is hard wired to your router or using the WiFi.
