Same adaptor, same network, different pcs, different internet performance
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I got a new pc (win10) and an older laptop (win8.1)
I use the tp link adaptor to connect to the internet.
Playing the same online game, I get lag spikes every 3-4 seconds on the pc, while on the laptop I get none.
I believe I have installed all the neccessary drivers.
Why could this be happening?
@Solla-topee Greetings
1) I disabled the wifi from the laptop, the tp link adapter shows up as wifi2 and I only used that, these are the results
as you can see with some minor spikes it's pretty consistent
If I use the built-in adaptor the ping varies wildly and is generally worse.
These are the ping tests on my new pc:
The ping spikes are CONSISTENT, every few seconds. This answers another of your questions, these lag spikes are what I perceive in games, web browsing is fine and I don't notice problems but games (I played paladins and dawn of war soulstorm) online every few seconds freeze up and then resume.
I believe I can only run in 2,4 Ghz since I don't remember finding a 5Ghz option on my network settings.
The router model is
Router TP-Link Archer VR400 Modem VDSL2/ADSL2+ Wi-Fi AC 1200Mbps
Here is the driver on my new pc
Motherboard is an optiplex9020
PS I unzipped the chipset and ran a ping test and the results were the same
