If so, clarify and be sure your router firmware is current.
I recently bought an ASUS ROG GL703GE on a friend’s advice as I am upgrading from a 7-8yr old MacBook pro.
I have been setting the device up and keep running into a wall that is the painfully slow 5G wife speed. currently topping out at ~1.7 - 3.0Mbps, where my 7yr old MacBook pro will top out at ~178Mbps on the same 5G network (while right beside the much newer device; approx. 5ft from router).
I also have a 2.4 Ghz network that the new ASUS can get ~20Mbps on, but still way slower than I should be able to get.
Here are the things I've tried to no avail:
- replacing the computer with a brand-new device (yes my store has already swapped the entire machine for me thinking the last one could have had a faulty wife card) ensuring the system has been completely updated
- re-installing the wireless driver
- updating the wireless driver
- updating the router software (I am skeptical that it is a router issue as so many different devices run fine on the 5G).
- changing the router to a different channel in case there were too many 5G networks in the vicinity trying to work on the same channel
- running a WLAN update to the intel processor
- running a cmd prompt sfc /scannow scan to see if there is some latent missing software issue
- updating the BIOS
- changing power and performance setting to prevent possible performance throttling
Seriously have no clue where else to turn. I would hate to just ditch the machine/brand all together in case the wireless card and my router just aren't compatible. So any thoughts on fixes would be much appreciated!
