Windows 10: Why is my laptop's wifi and ethernet connected, but the transfer speeds never raise?

My laptop is a Lenovo LOQ series laptop with a network problem. My network connection methods are perfect and say "Connected, Secured." whenever i connect to one. I've tried ethernet too. Yet my download/upload speeds have lain low at 0Kb/s usually, sometimes up to 1Mb/s, but that's rarer. Nothing loads. I cannot utilise any of the network. Why is this happening and would you have an explanation to fix it? Surely the ehternet and wifi drivers wouldn't've died at the same time, making my wifi transfer speeds atrocious?I am using Windows 11 with:4050 GPUi5-13420HWiFi 6 unsure of the model exact

Slow File Transfer Speeds (WiFi)

Hi Ruz,

Thank you for your reply.

I have checked out all your suggestions, but nothing has so far improved the transfer speeds. To clarify the issue:

My requirement is to transfer files from my desktop PC to my laptop. The desktop is connected to the network with an Ethernet cable.

When connecting the SB2 to the network by Ethernet, the cable is connected to the laptop via an Ethernet > USB C connector, attaining transfer speeds of around 100 MB/sec. When connecting via WiFi, the transfer speeds drop to around 30 MB/sec, whether I
am using the built-in WiFi adapter or the new, third party adapter.

By way of comparison, I am achieving transfer speeds of around 80 MB/sec when transferring to my 8-year old MacBook Pro via WiFi in the same environment.

According to various internet speed test utilities, I do not have any issues when uploading/downloading via Ethernet or WiFi, which give similar results.

To summarise, the only issues seems to be the file transfer speeds when using WiFi.

 

Slow transfer speed - Wifi

What is the exact speed you are getting when you download a file in MB, not Mbps

 

Slow transfer speed - Wifi

So I've just moved and finally got my fibre installed.

I have a 75Mbps line down and can acheive this when running on Ethernet. However due to my house layout it isn't possible to run my main PC off ethernet but only Wifi. to combat this I got the following

Asus RT N53 Router and a Asus PCE N 53 Wireless card.

I'm running a 5Ghz SSID on the 40mhz range and according to my PC I get a connection of 70% on each antenna with a good-excellent link and reports a connection of 216Mbps-246Mpbs link.

However I can only acheive a max of 40Mbps when downloading via the Wifi, if I go via Ethernet it soars up to my target speed. I also noticed the link drops to 108Mbps when actually running a speedtest.

Any idea why it isn't liking it, both products are designed with a max of 300Mbps output and it's the only device connected.

Anyone got any suggestions or ideas?
