    PC is much slower than other devices on the same network


    My house recently got fiber optics, and most devices are now able to download at between 200Mbps and 700Mbps. My PC is only downloading at between 25 and 45Mbps. I'm running on a fully updated Windows 11. I've tried uninstalling my wi-fi driver, reinstalling Windows, disabling Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level, and disabling all other apps on startup. If it helps, my adapter is a Realtek 8821CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC

    One device much slower than others on home wifi - why?

    I spoke with the shop once I could be in front of the computer. Yes. They too were puzzled.

    What they think is that:
    1. They must have goofed up the parts list for it
    2. So the Dell 1397 is the adapter I have
    3. And the "radio" must be getting weak or intermittent

    Even though I have no Intel 7260 showing in Device Manager:

    I went to the Intel site and downloaded the drivers for the 7260. Ran the exe, it ran fine, no errors, told me to restart so changes would take hold - but when I got back, there still wasn't a 7260 listed.

    At that point I called the shop again and they said that it's "not uncommon" for an Intel driver install exe to just run, even if its target hardware isn't present. Sounds goofy to me, but okay.

    I don't know how useful this is, but here's the ipconfig /all listing, for the wireless on my computer:

    I read the guy at the shop the list of network adapters in device manager, and he agreed that none other than the 1397 were wireless adapters.

    So - unless a miracle can happen and someone can show me where this alleged 7260 is - I'm going to wait for the shop to help me, or, maybe, if it's not too hard - this is an all-in-one PC and opening up even a big box scares me - put a new card in myself.

    What is this network device?


    I woke my desktop PC from sleep this morning, clicked on Network and immediately spotted a Phone in the device list that doesn't belong to anyone here (a Blu brand phone which is unusual enough that I would know about it).

    I clicked on the device and was able to view the MAC address, but nothing else useful. A couple minutes later it disappeared from the network list.

    Then a few minutes later I went and looked at another PC on the same home network and saw the same phone in its Network list. It also disappeared a couple minutes after I clicked open 'Network'.

    Scanned both PCs with various anti-malware programs including Malwarebytes - they look clean.

    Any suggestions on what I was seeing, and if it's malicious how to deal with it?


    UPDATE: It popped back up again. I checked my router's connection list and don't see it there. For now I blocked the MAC address in my router but would still like to know where this is coming from.

    Network will not show on the last device.

    Hi James,

    I suggest you to remove all the networks that are connected to your device and check.

    If the issue persist, I suggest you to follow the steps below.

    An outdated or incompatible network adapter driver can cause connection problems. If you recently upgraded to
    Windows 10, it's possible that the current driver was designed for a previous version of Windows. Check to see if an updated driver is available.


    • In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select
      Device Manager from the list of results.

    • In Device Manager, select Network adapters > the network adapter name.

    • Right-click (or press and hold) the network adapter, and then select Update Driver Software >
      Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the steps, then select
      Close.

    • After installing the updated driver, select the Start
      PC is much slower than other devices on the same network [​IMG]
      button >
      Power > Restart if asked to restart, and see if that fixes the connection issue.

    If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't connect to the Internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save
    it to a USB flash drive, so you can install the driver on your PC. You’ll need to know the PC manufacturer and model name or number.

    Rely us with the status to assist you further.

    Regards,
