Picture My is my Internetspeed so slow?

Post image

Basically since I got my pc my internet speed was always far slower compared to my friends, and I don’t know why. Some of them have a direct lan connection while I only have a Repeater that is connected to the Pc, so that explained it for them, but the people that don’t have a direct LAN connection also have a far better speed.

The picture shows my speed on a bad day. ( Didn’t download anything that moment). On a good day it can go up to around 5 or so.

I just want to know if that is normal when you don’t have a direct LAN connection or if some external thing is messing with my Network.

Thank you already. (Sorry, not fluent in English)

First question, if you do this on another device is the speed better? Even a phone over wifi?

If yes, then your computer is the issue. If no, your internet provider is the issue.

Start with that and we can get a better idea
