Bamboozaled can you help?

[Excalabur50]

So I know there's a lot of clever people on here lets see if maybe you can't help me solve this little dilemma my ISP is also stumped!
So here we go I have two machines connected to the net via the same modem one is wifi the other is network cable.


Network cable send/receive is 1000/1000, is running Windows pro 1809 and the max down is 91 and the max up never goes above 25 for specs of system see sig only 16 gig ram though.


WiFi send/receive 600/144 is running Windows home 1809 and the max down never goes above 50 and the up varies up to 36 it's a 2600k on a gigabyte sniper with 16g of ram on a dlink 548.


Have tried my Fritzbox 4790 as wel l as a Billion 8700AXL-1600 with exact same results.
How in the name of all is this even possible?

Sorry, what's the issue?

 

[Excalabur50]

Basically I have 100 down 40 up and one machine won't upload above 25 whilst the other does 36 and one won't download above 50 whilst the other one does 91 and not at the same time, when both machine theoretically are capable of 91 down and 36 up

How are you testing this?

 

[Excalabur50]

With speedtest.net the reason why it's really an issue for me is the rig I mainly use my sig, is not connecting to the net properly despite having 91 down.
At first I thought it was Chrome playing up I get constant establishing secure connection then the website won't open, Youtube opening without any pics and no comments, so I swapped over to Firefox now I get the same thing with Youtube I had a 502 error to here and I get really long performing TLS handshake and the the website is unable to open.


I've just formatted my machine with the same errors occurring. yet the other machine with the wifi card doesn't do it

Have you tried using a different DNS? like, Google's DNS?

Try both wired and see if there is a difference..

And never use a web based speed test, they are very unreliable, use iperf3 open a cmd windows and run the following :

iperf3 -c 178.208.14.117 -P 8 -p 5202 -R -t 20

This is a 10gb/s server with very little traffic running across it.

https://iperf.fr/download/windows/iperf-3.1.3-win64.zip

Here is my test running from my home ISP running during a busy period :

[SUM] 0.00-20.00 sec 15.3 GBytes 6.56 Gbits/sec sender
[SUM] 0.00-20.00 sec 15.3 GBytes 6.56 Gbits/sec receiver

iperf Done.

 

[Excalabur50]

No I haven't and I shouldn't really need to as one machine does it whilst the other doesn't and none of it makes any sense.

I can't as the wifi machines nic is dead hence the wifi card

 

[Excalabur50]

iperf3 is not recognized as an internal or external command

The issue is very likely to be with the PC you are having issues with. I've had this loads in the past. At one point I could not even get on the internet without using Google's DNS. It turns out it was a bug in Windows 7 in the network stack and I had to wait about 5 months for a fix. Like you I spent hours on the phone with my ISP (Zen, that I was paying loads for) and it turned out to be Windows. Or more specifically, Windows, with the network card I had and etc.

Try it dude. Only takes about 5 minutes and may save you ripping out more hair.

 

[Excalabur50]

it might be Alien as the one with no issues is home and the one with is pro and 1809 is such a ATM

Ok, then try what I mentioned above anyway and post results back here from the cmd windows.

 

[FTLN]

You need to open a cmd window in the folder where you unzipped iperf3

easy way to do that is open the folder where it is unzipped and in the explorer address bar type cmd, a cmd window will open and you can copy in the command I mentioned previously.

I get this mate iperf3 is not recognized as an internal or external command

 

[FTLN]

Did you download it and unzip the folder ?

 

[Excalabur50]

iperf3 error control socket has closed unexpectedly is all it keeps doing

 

[RobM]

to run iperf go to the folder where the .exe is located.
Hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder
Select cmd if there or powershell either will work
enter iperf3 -c 178.208.14.117 -P 8 -p 5202 -R -t 20
NOTE: in powershell you need to add a stop and slash before the command ./
./iperf3 -c 178.208.14.117 -P 8 -p 5202 -R -t 20.

Getting back to your issue though the only difference between the devices connection is 1 is ethernet and the other wireless? then clearly the wireless is the bottleneck.

Have you tried the wired PC on the wireless?

iperf3: error - control socket has closed unexpectedly
And no I haven't put the wifi card into this one yet
