Hi all,

I live in a student dormitory. The internet speed in my room is 10Mbps however next to the door and passageway it hits 200Mbps. The distance is only few meters !

I am suspecting I might be connected to a distant router?! For example, l am in my room now and the internet speed on my phone is hitting 200Mbps which is 20Mbps on my PC.

What can I do in this case? Thanks all !

    Either the wireless network wasn’t designed properly to provide a good signal coverage, or there are things causing interference in your room.

    Are there a lot of other electronics or heavy dense objects near where your PC is? It might be worth getting an external usb wifi adapter with an extension cable so you can set the antenna closer to the door.
