After trying a bunch of options ive found searching the web. i found one thing that has increased my download speed from 20mbs to 60mbs. If your on wifi 5, then making sure your wireless adapter is on the right 5ghz wireless mode. Pull up your device manager. Click to dropdown the Network Adapters. Right click on your wireless lan and click properties. Select the advanced tab. Then click on wireless mode. Switch the value to IEEE 802.11a/n/ac.
And thats it. That enables 5ghz and has tripled my download speeds!!! My next move is upgrade to a wifi 6 router one of these days for even faster speeds
when i download league of legends start up page it was fast but when download the full game its at 300kbp per sec meaning from what i found on google … the server you’re downloading from is simply not capable of delivering data at a high enough rate … so ye we all just have to suffer
Run CMD prompt as Administrator and type
“ipconfig /FlushDNS”
Restart PC After
Fixed it for me after trying everything else.
Mine is even WORSE lol . i have the same specs and my download speed is 150kb/s . And i have crazy fast internet
For me, my Link/Speed was limited to 100/100 even though it’s supposed to be 1000/1000 (gigabit connection). What fixed it for me was making sure my ethernet cable was plugged in completely into the router.
100 Mbps is 12.5 MB/s so the speed you are seeing is somewhat inline with that. There are a few things that impact this:
- ISP provided bandwidth. You said it’s 230 Mbps so we are fine there unless there are some shenanigans. For example ISP advertises “Up to 230 Mbps” but in reality that is the bandwidth for an entire building or several buildings and the speed is possible only when nobody else uses the internet
- Your router. While your ISP may provide you with more bandwidth, not all routers can handle it and those that do, sometimes might have only some of the ethernet ports capable of that bandwidth. This is more common with older devices, new devices will typically have all gigabit ports, but if you see it has let’s say port 1 and port 2 in a different color then it’s possible that only those are capable of gigabit, while others are only 100 Mbps
- Cable. Indeed, you can be limited by cable, I will trust that you are well aware of what the cable looks like all the way from the router to the PC. The only thing to keep in mind here is that technically you can split a single cat5e cable into two connections but then you get problems (only applicable if you have wall sockets and are unsure how it was wired). But let’s assume that is not the case for us
- Your PC hardware. Not every motherboard or network card will have a gigabit capable connector. In fact 100 Mbps ports were rather common, check your motherboard manual (or manufacturer page) to make sure you are not limited there.
- Settings. There can be a few places where you may have an issue:
- Router — qos or rate limit set on a particular port or device. This is sometimes done to make sure one device does not take up all the bandwidth. If Steam pumps at 230 Mbps then you couldn’t do much else with the internet (would be extremely slow)
- Steam — you may have a limit set in Steam itself
- Drivers — check that your network drivers are up to date. Sometimes bad or generic drivers could impose a bandwidth limit
More or less covers where there could be bandwidth limitations. I might have missed something since I just wrote everything off the top of my head, but more likely than not the issue is #2, #4 or #5. The others you ruled out and #6 is uncommon to be the cause.
MB and Mb are different units of measurement my friend.
Another common thing limiting your download speed could be your antivirus software. Try disabling that or whitelisting as an experiment. This was the cause for me a while ago.
I had a new optic fiber glass cable installed today and tested it by downloading a game, the speeds were great at 170mbps download speed but after an hour it’s now downloading at 13mbps why does this happen
It means megabits per second on byte is 8 bits so one megabit is an eight of a megabyte so you can download 500/8 megabytes per second
me with 999mbps and its STILL single digit numbers
Idk man, sounds like an advertisement for ExpressVPN
this is the equivalent of my hot neighbor telling me to sell her beauty products which i found feminine and uncharacteristic to me which is why i bring you candle scented perfume all naturale.
For the past week my upload speed suddenly became abysmal and I couldn’t fix it no matter how many things I tried, but your comment inspired me to turn on NordVPN and it fixed it instantly. It’s literally the only use I’ve gotten so far out of my two year subscription. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I literally just tried this with my Windscribe subscription wtffff I can’t believe it actually worked lmao
The only solution is vpn because somebody is using your data and if you use vpn it interupt the hacker
its most likey the server … where you are downloading from not the vpn server … being slow i think but when useing a vpn you conncet to a server thats far away meaning its going to slow you down for data has to move from the vpn to you. more steps
Bruh, thank you so much! I had cloudflare warp already installed, and just enabled it… speeds went from 16 KB up to 1000
