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 !

    Have you considered just plugging your PC into a wired network port instead of using wireless? There’s a good chance you have a port in your room. Most dorms were wired with them long ago because students needed internet and wireless didn’t exist. People tend not to use wires as much anymore but the ports are still there.
