Internet slow (web browsing slow on all browsers)

[Owen_Henderson]

Hi, I have been having issues with slow web browsing on my laptop no matter which browser I use...MY Laptop is only 2 year old and had been running fine until recently, I carried out full factory reset hoping to resolve issue but although it helped slightly web browsing still slow especially youtube!

When testing my internet speed via laptop I get 12Mbps download compared to 40Mbps on all other devices??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Owen

@Owen_Henderson Welcome to HP Community!

Here's a few things you need to do, to resolve this issue once and for all: 

• Disable all firewalls and antivirus programs including windows ten's own firewalls and antivirus programs. 

• try safe mode with networking to check if the Internet connection is fast there. Try both wired and wireless options. 

• Link for safe mode with networking is given in my earlier post. Please try that. 

• Uninstall the existing network adapters and update the bios chipset and network adapters (both wired and wireless) from this link : click here to find and install the same 

• Please try to change the router's broadcasting channel to another value. try different working channels. that might help for WiFi only. 

• Try performing a clean boot in windows 10 using this link: Click here for steps 

• Try this link fixing network connections in windows 10: Click here 

• Then create a new user profile and try to connect both through WiFi and using a wired connection. 

• Then as a last ,resort try to perform a system recovery to factory setting and check if this helps after backing up all your files.
