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

Daniel Garcia · Dec 14, 2015

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.
