sudden slow internet speed on windows 11
recently I updated my windows 10 to windows 11. after that my download speed is suddenly decreased my actual internet speed is 25mbps when I check on the speed test also its showing 25mbps but while ...
Disabling the IPv6 did the trick for me!
How I did it:
- Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
- Right Click the connection type (Wifi, Ethernet...) and go to Properties
- Uncheck 'Internet Protocol Version 6...'
- Restart
Massive changes here on both, wifi and cable.
Hope this helps! 🙂

Have already tried this and it made no difference. Thanks for the help

I had the same problem on several computers I updated to Windows 11. Most notably, my desktop which is connected via wifi went from ca. 600Mbps to ca. 150 when I went to 11. A cell phone held nearby was in the 500s.
It turns out that you need a 6E wifi connector. When I installed a Netgear AX8000 Nighthawk, the thing bumped up to 600Mbps immediately.
Don't know why this is not common knowledge.
