    Posted: 30 Mar 2020 at 4:56pm
So I have had multiple techs to my house in the last month trying to figure out why the 1GB download speed I pay for is not coming through. When I run speedtests i am at 180mbps on the dot. When I run the test it seems as though something is throttling my speed or a pc component is failing. I have gone through hours of testing and have ruled out the modem, router or ethernet cables as the issue. I have 3 desktops and a laptop in my home. 2 of the desktops (wired connections) and the laptop (wifi) all get correct speeds. What component in a PC would go bad that would cause this? Motherboard? Im stumped.

Windows 10
Intel i5 8400 @2.8 Ghz
16 GB ram
Geforce RTX 2080TI
asus prime z370-p motherboard

Using simple math will conclude that the 3rd Desktop wired computer is the one that has the problem.

What would cause that problem?

-The lan connection on the Motherboard?
- Software issues on that commuter. Like corrupt files used for downloading?
-???

My only guess is the motherboard but I was just curious if anyone else had ever had this issue.

Years ago I was dealing with a similar situation, but in an office environment. I used a program called TCP Optimizer from SpeedGuide and it fixed the issue. I realize this sounds like an advertisement, but unless something has changed the program was 100% free. I haven't used it in a long time, so this isn't so much an endorsement as much as a "hey go see if this is still around" suggestion. The gist of what it did was tuning TCP/IP settings in Windows, and it gave a very nice output file so you could see precisely what it did and double-check those adjustments yourself.
