Hey guys, hope I can get some help here.
This has been a long term problem, but as I’ve gotten older and realized I am not realistic going to be moving out of my parents house, I have decided to try and make the best of it regarding my internet speed. Today my dad tested his computer at over 100 megabits, while mine was at a measly 4.
In short, it is awful, and has been for well over 10 years. I wasn’t doing speed tests at the time as a 12 year old kid, but my ping in games was always over 110, and the few times it spiked below 110 were only a few seconds at a time. We’ve switched internet providers in the past 4 years and its still just as bad, we’ve tried plugging into ethernet and Wi-Fi adapters of all kinds, VPNs and switching computers. The only thing that hasn’t changed to much is the physical location of the room; but even then I have moved my computer to different spots throughout it, and moved every other Wi-Fi receiving device 6+ feet away.
Today we tried disabling my internal wi-fi, to try to Wi-Fi through the adapter, and it didn’t change the speed at all. Is there any advise that anyone has? Are there any settings I can enable/disable to make my computer maybe receive Internet at a faster rate? I can provide more details if I need to, but I really just to play games and watch videos without them lagging, I am not even a big downloader usually so that doesn’t even bother me.
