WiFi speed issues - From ~8MB/s to ~300KB/s
Dear community,
I must first admit that I am on Windows 8. The reason I went over to here instead of eightforums is due to the activity there. I am really fed up of this problem so I found myself best to post it here.
The problem I am trying to resolve is that after the upgrade of my Laptop from Win7 to Win8, everything was behaving fine. My WiFi speeds were around 6-8MB/s as it has been before. Just perfect, nothing wrong. It lasted like a day or 5.
Suddenly, when I had been at a friend with my laptop I realised that my network speed was terrible. I had a quick speedtest: 300KB/s. I was shocked, and decided it had to be my router. Resetting however did not help. The strange thing was that all other devices (even my phone) gave around 8MB/s. I concluded it was my laptop that was behaving improper.
I had tried everything: from updating drivers to getting old ones, from reconfiguring to disabling a variety of settings and so forth. Nothing helped. Until today, when I realised that at my friend's home I had my own speeds back (well, his speeds ). This is very strange, as this shows neither the laptop nor the router is the problem.
I have just resetted my router to factory settings and still a nope. I am completely confused. What am I to do now?
