    Internet download speed is much lower than upload one


    My main PC is directly connected to router/modem. I am using AT&T Fiber Optic with 300 mbps speed. Recently download speed decreased to a crawl. I ran a speed test - download speed was 4 mbps while upload was 367 mbps (???). Reset the modem and ran antivirus scan. No change.
    My other PC connected via WiFi shows higher download speed...

    Any suggestions ?

    Try flushing your dns. Windows 7: DNS Flush - GROK Knowledge Base The article doesn't show this but I think that you need to right click on command prompt and select run as administrator. I would try an ipconfig /release nefore the flush and ipconfig /renew afterwards. Also check your duplex settings. Network Speed Windows 7 - University of Galway In my settings it just shows duplex.
