Windows 10 Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK - slow wifi, new laptop

[Daniel Garcia]

Hi,

I just bought a Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK (i5 6th generation). Already had an intel graphic card Driver issue which I resolved by installing the newest beta driver in compatibility mode with Windows 8.

Having an extremely slow wifi (downloading at 90bps), also from the beginning but I can't fix that. Already tried updating drivers.

Thank you

Well there a tons of reason for a slow connection.

• Lots of overlapping wireless networks on the same channel or on an interfering channel (Check this out with a phone app like wifi analyzer)
• Distance from device in access point, should have a signal strength between -30dbm and -70dbm
• Building material can degrade the signal
• If you're on a 2.4Ghz channel Microwaves and cordless phones can interfere
• Congested ISP or any "internet" router your data is traversing between you and the host serving content
• The host you are downloading content from
• Faulty hardware
• Access point positioning, most home routers have omni-directional antennas, if they are external antennas then the signal propagates perpendicular to the antenna position so you can try and re-position
• Also on omni-directional antennas there is usually a dead spot if you are directly underneath them (rule of thumb) stay about 10 ft away from them

I would start testing what you can.
