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 !

    Guys, you are all awesome. That’s why l love Reddit!

    I think l found the problem but not sure how to solve it: when my laptop was connected on 5Ghz, the speed was insane and bypassed 200Mbps. However when l got disconnected and reconnected it went to 2.4 GHz and the speed went down again !

    How can l force the wifi to be 5GHz?
