    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    The router has its own SpeedTest feature, and here are the readings directly from the router to the ISP:

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    I've run the tests with the AV/firewall disabled, and I will receive the 2.5 Gbps USB to Ethernet adapter today, so I can test with that. I haven't connected my laptop to the cable without the coupler in the path, but that's an access issue I will tackle after a busy Easter weekend. I went into...

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    The Orbi I purchased is their top-of-the-line mesh networking system, and the router has a 10 Gbps WAN port and a 2.5 Gbps LAN port, as do the three satellites. The attached illustration shows my network flow.

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    I disabled Windows Defender and retested, with the following results: The Intel NIC has the most current drivers (Version 2.1.3.3, 2/9/2023). I will see if I can get enough access to test the cable leading into the coupler with my laptop. In the meantime, I took to heart your statement...

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    OK. Test #1. My Bitdefender Total Security software doesn't have a disabling feature, so I uninstalled it completely using Revo Uninstaller Pro. I restarted the system and ran SpeedTest, with the following result: This is the first time since my fiber service was installed that the download...

    I appreciate all the suggestions! I'm trying several of them and will get back to you with what I learn!

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    Thank you for the comprehensive response! I will take the time to review it and determine how to attack the problem. However, since my initial post, I have done additional troubleshooting that may narrow down the problem. Note that the speed readings are from two components limited to 1 Gbps by...

    Download speed is consistently lower than upload speed on one PC (Lumos Networks fiber Internet)

    I have had great luck with the smart people on this forum before, and maybe you can help me figure this out. We just had a Lumos Networks 2 Gbps fiber Internet service installed, and the speeds are incredible - on one computer: This desktop system is connected via Ethernet to a Zyxel 2 Gbps...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    I appreciate the suggestion! I thought the same thing, but when I extracted the broken connector from the wireless antenna terminal, it looked too damaged to be reused. I am still unsure what I did to it because I was trying my best to be deliberate and delicate in disconnecting the wires. As I...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    Done! I have one postscript to my story. After the upgrades, I had an issue where the Wi-Fi adapter could not connect to the internet coming out of sleep mode. I had to reset the adapter to get things back to normal. On a whim, I went into the adapter properties and unchecked the box next to...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    My Wi-Fi 6E upgrade saga has a happy ending! Since I decided to do a major upgrade of my drives as well as my Wi-Fi capabilities, I bought the SK Hynix Platinum P41 2 TB NVMe drive as my OS/apps drive, and the Sk Hynix Gold P31 1 TB SATA 6GB/s SSD for my data files. I also received the new AX210...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    Thought I'd provide a picture of what broke off of the AX210 wireless card when I tried to disconnect the antenna wires (see connector #2). I'm assuming the card still works, so if anyone out there can repair the connector, I'll be happy to mail the card to you!

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    As far as I can tell, the antennas are OK. I had to remove the connector that broke off the AX210 card from one of the antenna terminals, but I was then able to attach both antennas successfully to the AX411. In the end, I'm out $25 for the cost of a new card. I'm going to try and not break the...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    Well, I can report that the AX411 does NOT work with the Intel Core i5-1035G1 mobile processor. Device Manager shows a Network Processor with a yellow exclamation point next to it, and installing the Intel drivers doesn't seem to correct it. Rebooting the system didn't do anything, nor did...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    So I bought the exact NVMe SSD you recommended, and an SK Hynix SATA SSD for the secondary drive bay, replacing two WD drives. I also bought the Intel AX411 Wi-Fi card. I will report back here with the results of my upgrades!

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    I haven't thought about future-proofing, but your point is very well taken!

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    My research has yielded surprisingly little information. My laptop uses a Core i5-1035G1 Ice Lake CPU, and the Wikipedia article you shared states that, "CNVio2 was introduced on desktop platform with Comet Lake and on mobile platform with Ice Lake." The AX201 that came with the laptop requires...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    My Acer laptop has a 10th Gen Intel CPU - is that a problem? That price and the potential performance are tempting! See what you've got me doing? :oops:

    Odd Speed Issue Related to Cable Connection

    I bought both connector sets from Amazon, along with the cable and other components. My electrician friend brought his own crimping tool! The first brand was Cable Matters, a 50-Pack of RJ45 shielded modular plugs with strain relief boots. Those are the ones my friend said he had difficulty...

    Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card disappoints with slower than expected speeds (Solved)

    I didn't know there was a card higher than the AX210! Interesting - now that I'm getting more of the performance I expected from the AX210, I'm not in a rush to upgrade again, but I'll follow its progress and see how it does.
