So I just built a brand new pc and here are my specs :
Mother Board : Asus PRIME H610M-E D4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Processor : Intel Core i3-12100 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory : TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage : Kingston A400 960 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU : MSI GAMING X Radeon RX 570 4 GB Video Card
Case : NZXT H510 Flow
Power Supply : Corsair CV650 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Network Adapter : TP-Link TL-WN881ND
The Storage and GPU were already used but in pretty good condition they had no issues in the previous PCs.
So basically, I have a pretty low download speed compared to what it is supposed to be. I currently have a download speed of 80Mps (tested on speedtest and showed on task manager during downloads) which makes me download games at 10MB/s. When I do the same tests on my laptop while making sure it is in the exact same spot as my Desktop, I have a speed of around 320 Mps (which is what I pay for) and it makes me download games at 40MB/s.
So I first thought the issue would be the Network Adapter that I just bought so I tried the USB key that my roommate is using that is cheaper and my download speed was worse (around 50 Mbps). I also noticed that he never reaches the 40MB/s (more like 20-25 ish) on his downloads and I even tried that USB key on my laptop while disabeling the default Network Adapter and I was also downloading at around 20MB/s. With these tests I then supposed that the Adapter that I just bought was working pretty well and the issue was somewhere else on my PC.
Believing it was still a hardware issue, I then checked if it didn't come frome my SSD that plays a part on downloads. However after some research and watching the performances on the task manager I figured that the 80Mbps that I was getting during a download was exclusive to the "Network" column, while the writing speed in the "Disk" column was just matching the network speed converted in Bytes instead of bits. I also never had any issues with this SSD on my previous PC.
Since I suppose the problem doesn't come from either my Network Adapter or my SSD, I am kinda stuck and I have no clue on what it could be. I saw that the issue could be on the software side, so I made sure to do every windows 11 and driver updates (especially the Network Adapter driver). I even updated my BIOS to the latest version but still nothing seems to change. I also saw that some virus could cause a decrease of the download speed, but my PC is brand new and I had this issue since the very first downloads.
It's a very strange issue cause the PC is really smooth and performs very well, I just have this random download problem that comes out of nowhere. I still can download games and 10MB/s can do the work, but with the constant increase of game sizes these days it's kinda annoying especially since I should be able to reach 40MB/s which is 4 times faster.
I never do posts cause there is often the answer somewhere but this time I really don't know what to do lol, hope someone can figure this out!
