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 !

    Had a similar situation, my room is I get on my Xbox 200+mbps but when I used my desktop PC with a bog standard WiFi adapter it was struggling to get 50mbps and kept dropping signal during downloads.

    I ended up buying a well reviewed USB WiFi adapter with a good antenna and now get the full 200mbps. This might not work in your case but it’s worth a try.

    The USB WiFi adapter I got was tplink archer v2. 0
