Incredibly slow internet - brand new HP laptop

[letmelogin1]

The internet is running infuriatingly slow on this brand new laptop - every other device in this house has been working fine, including very old laptop - can someone please fix this because it's ridiculous a brand new laptop is running the net so slowly.

The first time that a "fresh" installation of Windows 10 is allowed to connect to the Internet, it will launch Windows Update as a "background" task, and that task consumes resources:

* up to 100% of your "download" capability,

* up to 100% of your disk-drive's throughput, either storing the downloads, or installing from the downloads,

* up to 100% of one core in your dual-core (or triple-core AMD, or quad-core, or better) processor.

Launch Windows Update, to connect to that background task.

Just watch it work, and don't try to use your computer until it prompts you to restart.

After the restart, your computer will run much better.

Solution :

May he problem is not in your laptop but it is in your wifi Router.

1. open wireless router setup page it should be defined on the box of router along with IP (often 192.168.0.1) and default username and Password. log in with that
2. now find wireless setting or Advanced wireless settings or Wireess basic setting (not Wireless setup)
3. then search for Channel width -> set it from 20Mhz to 40Mhz or 20/40MHz accouring to which setting is available in your rouuter
4. select band or wireless mode to 802.11mixed(n/g/b) or 802.11(n/g) it should contain 'n' or 'N'
5. Save changes and reboot Router
6. (Also should be Noted: turn off Bluetooth, stay away from Microwave, Walkie-talkie or any other device which use 2.4Mhz wireless band, because of that also your speed may get distorted and unstable)
7. Done & Enjoy High Speed WIreless

you can see that in network adapter settings that your wireless is now connected with 150mbps

and also still there is an issue then go to device manager > network adapters > your wifi adapter > (right click) properties > advanced > from several options > wireless mode > set it to the option which has maximum numbers of n/g/b like that (shown in image)

Thats pretty much it Nothing More problem than this will occur.

Defunately this much of settings will solve the Problem. 🙂
