So, i was searching for the lastest update of my network adapter
I figured out the just recently i had it updatedSo i installed the previous version
Then, i uninstalled the updater from device manager, and checked "Deleting this from the computer"
After restarting, the network is finally good, after 5 days of searching
Has anyone fixed this. My iMac measures my 5.0 GHz using Comcast speed test at 435 mbps. However, same network, same location, Windows Dell PC only measures 85 mbps. The connection status for that connection shows the adapter at around 385 mbps. Why is the windows laptop so slow with it's wireless connection.
5 GHz Wi-Fi networks experience less noise and interference from devices like microwaves or bluetooth devices. They also allow you to transfer data (including streaming video) faster, and the higher frequency uses less battery life on mobile devices like your Windows laptop.
Unfortunately, with those benefits come a number of drawbacks which can cause problems with accessing your 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. Your network adapter may not even support 5 GHz. It's also more sensitive to household obstacles like concrete walls or metal duct work. Windows or driver updates are also known to sometimes cause problems with accessing 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
