new computer slow internet bandwidth

Post by Minty_64 »

Hello all

I just got a new computer and set everything up the same way my old computer was set up
usually I get 10mb per second on this line however setting the new pc up I only get about 6mb per second
this happens on both Windows 10 and Linux Mint and I'm not sure what's causing the problem
also it seems I'm blocked from accessing certain websites even from a live usb (not sure related but thought I would add)
using a lan line with my computer so I know it's not wifi related
I haven't directly plugged in my computer to the wall yet but I will try soon
also the network seems to be fine as speed is as usual transferring files across the network

Without some technical information, we can’t help you. Please post an inxi -Fxxxzr report. This will give us a concise overview of your hardware and how Mint sees it.

Here is how to generate the report and post it:
Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-t). Make it fullscreen to avoid unneeded linebreaks or chopped lines. Execute the command

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxxxzr 
exactly as it has been typed here.

Mark the complete text output which the command will display with your mouse.
Press the keyboard shortcut <Shift><Ctrl>C to copy the marked text into the clipboard.
Enclose the results between the code markers by selecting </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply then paste <Ctrl>V them in your reply between the code markers [code]Results [/code].

The results will help us to help you.

If you have found the solution to your initial post, please open your original post, click on the pencil, and add (Solved) to the Subject, it helps other users looking for help, and keeps the forum clean.

First reboot your router. If that doesn't help, I think you should contact your ISP because, clearly, if it's happening on Windows then it isn't a Linux Mint problem.
