Browser loading speed has slowed since I get TMO Home Internet and don't know why.
Ever since I switched to TMO, my browser loading speed are slow. Most of the time, when I opened up a new window, I takes a good 5-10 seconds to load the page. Also, when I scroll down a page (like f...
In that case some things to look at:
- If it is Windows 10, check to be sure there is not an update pending.
- If W10 reboot it and see if it changes the equation.
- A likely culprit with W10 and the desktop could be a network card driver. (I will assume wireless.) Check for an updated NIC driver and install a new one.
- If it is an older PC maybe the wireless NIC driver is having issues.
- If your PC is close to the router and you can use an Ethernet cable try that instead of wireless.
- If it is W10 open a command window and enter “netstat -e” (no quotes) Look for errors.
- Además netstat -s for protocol statistics. Look a % of errors etc.. to actual connections.
Look at the web interface on the router "Statistics" for the various wireless bands for "Discarded Received Packets". If the PC NIC is not working well it might be error prone.
If you are familiar with Linux and have or can make a bootable USB drive download say Linux Mint and make a live USB stick to boot from and confirm results with Linux vs W10. I only suggest Mint as it is very simple to use and so similar to Windows for navigation. My experience is that when I boot up with Linux Mint or most Linux distros the wireless is usually detected and it is pretty quick and easy to join the wireless network. If the wireless NIC is a Realtec the probability is good it would work fine.
