Why does my WiFi slow down significantly when I turn on my PC?

Asked By CuriousCoder89 On

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue where my WiFi speeds drop significantly whenever I turn on my PC. Normally, I get speeds between 150-300 Mbps, but once my PC is powered up, it plummets to anywhere between 30-10 Mbps. I'm using Windows 11 and have tried various troubleshooting steps without success. I've checked the resource monitor and nothing appears to be using an excessive amount of bandwidth. I've even reset my PC while keeping my documents, but the issue persists. This problem has only arisen in the past week, and I haven't made any changes to my hardware setup or my usual activities on the PC.

Have you tried checking your router's activity when your PC is on? It might give you a clue if your PC is using more bandwidth or if there's some kind of interference happening.

I think I could check that, but I'm not sure how to access the router settings.
