Go to Solution[Precision 7750] Slow download speed
Greetings, I'm having a hard time solving this one.
The issue started recently, I noticed it yesterday. System is Windows 11 21H2, Windows is up to date, BIOS is up to date, Dell Command Update app says everything is up to date. When I perform a download speed test on fast.com the speed is ~10 Mbps. While browsing I notice this is accurate.
- All web browsers are affected
- I have the same low speed on both Ethernet and Wireless
- Upload speed is not affected, I get ~300Mbps which is the expected speed, only download is affected
- My phone or any device on the Wi-Fi gets full Wi-Fi speed (~150 Mbps)
- If I plug in another laptop on the same ethernet cable I get full speed (~800 Mbps)
- If I launch a chrome browser through WSL2 on my laptop I get full speed in this browser (~800 Mbps), while any native browser in Windows gets low speed
I tried a lot of things but still no solution
- I don't have smartbyte installed, no service with this name
- Tried with all USB devices / Bluetooth disconnected, no change
- Tried performing network reset
- Tried uninstalling both Wi-Fi and Ethernet devices, no change
- Tried resintalling Ethernet/Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, no change
- Both connections "Metered connection" setting is disabled
- Tried changing Window Auto-Tuning Level value, no change (set it back to normal)
- Tried to disable Large Send Offload setting in adapter configuration, no change
- Tied to configure QoS Packet Scheduler / Limit Reservable bandwidth to 0, no change
The most confusing thing is when I use chrome in the WSL environment I have full speed, so it must be something related to windows network configuration that limits my download speed and I can't find it.
Any suggestions ?
