I have four devices, Windows 8.1 laptop (mine), Windows 10 laptop, iPhone SE, Android phone, connected to the same network and the Windows 8.1. laptop has a significantly slower download speed (~15 Mbps) than any other device (~100 Mbps for the phones, ~120 Mbps for the Windows 10 laptop). Moreover, I also get very different results depending on where I measure my speed while the other devices get almost identical numbers on all websites I’ve checked. Specifically: beta.speedtest.net shows me 170+ Mbps, fast.com shows 70 Mbps, speedof.me (HTML5 based, arguably the most accurate) shows only 15 Mbps. I get the results regardless of whether I am connected through WiFi or Ethernet (tested with multiple cables).

Here’s what I’ve tried to do so far to troubleshoot the problem:

Making sure that my network drivers are up to date. Booting in safemode with network. Same results. Checking for bandwidth hoggers. I ran netstat -o and checked each PID to make sure it wasn’t anything suspicious. All PIDs were either Chrome or the antivirus. I tried disabling and eventually uninstalling the latter. In Task Manager’s Resource Monitor I checked the processes under Network. All of them are either chrome, svchost, or System, and the numbers look very similar to those I am seeing on the Windows 10 laptop. I also tried running several speed tests and monitoring the number change, and the dynamic was the same to what I observed on the Windows 10 laptop. Scanning for malware. Before uninstalling the old antivirus that I had, I ran the scan but didn’t find anything. I then downloaded Malwarebytes but it didn’t find anything either. I am currently in the process of picking a new antivirus. Once I pick one, I will do a scan with it too, but it doesn’t look like it’s malware that it is causing the problem. Finally, I tried resetting my network configuration by running netsh winsock reset catalog, netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log, netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log. No effect.

I am at a loss what other software solutions I can try and I am worried that there is something wrong with the NIC or adapter (which can be a pain to change in a laptop). For comparison, my laptop has Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and the Windows 10 laptop has This Killer Ethernet Controller and Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160.

If you have any suggestions or guesses on what might be going on, please comment. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I discovered that that this is not a hardware issue as I just made a bootable USB with Kali (Debian-Linux-based OS) and running it all speed tests showed 100+ Mbps! This means that whatever is happening, it is a software issue and not a problem with the NIC/modem/any laptop piece.

SOLVED!!! Found the problem! The issue was caused by having the Windows Auto-Tuning feature set as disabled instead of normal. What I did to fix it:

In command line (as administrator), run netsh interface tcp show global to see if the feature is disabled

Run netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal to set it to normal

Voilà!
