If you are using LAN / direct connection check also quality of cable -degraded LAN cable can cause horrendous drop in speeds. Thank you for any constructive replies and attempts at a fix, in advance.Ĭheck your router (or your connection) hasn't dropped back from 5GHZ band to 2.5GHZ band - on the 2.5GHZ band especially if there are a lot of people on the same channel your speed will drop. I would appreciate no comments about returning to Windows 7, I like 10 just fine, and no comments about the Alienware, I got lazy and didn't want to build one. I have troubleshot this until I am at my wit's end. I watched the techs tests, they was no hanky-panky on their part. I have disabled Windows Firewall and Defender, and have no other protection on here. I have reset my adapter, grabbed the most current drivers from Dell (It's an Alienware), grabbed the most current router (ASUS RT-N56U) firmware. I think it is a Windows Update that caused the issue. Here is the kicker: This speed is on all 3 computers in the room.but not my Roku boxes.

I am an old fart and do not browse "those" sites. I have installed nothing, ran nothing, I know everyone I get emails from and have clicked nothing. Nothing has changed on my Windows 10 Pro 64bit computer, except possibly Windows Updates. When connected directly to the cable modem on my desktop however, I consistently get only 40-60mb (mostly 60mb) Technicians from my ISP came out, ran new cabling through the house and out to the pole, then tested it at the pole, at the box on the side of the house and inside at the cable end.


I was previously getting the full 200mb and then some. About 3 weeks ago I noticed I was getting between 40-60mb download, when my ISP package says 200mb.
