Why is my Ethernet connection slower than WiFi?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I've been experiencing a strange issue where my Ethernet connection on my PC is only delivering speeds of 10-20 Mbps, while my phone connects via WiFi and gets around 300 Mbps. This problem started just a couple of weeks ago. I've tried swapping out different Ethernet cables, but nothing seems to improve the situation. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Make sure your Ethernet cable is directly connected to the modem or router without any switches in between. If it's still slow, try resetting the router. If the problem persists, getting in touch with your ISP might be your best bet.

It sounds like we need more info to help you out. What router are you using, and what type of WiFi connection is your phone using (like 2.4GHz or 5GHz)? Is the Ethernet cable going directly into the router, or are you running it through a wall socket? Are you facing any connection dropouts? Knowing these details might give us a better idea of what's happening.

Have you checked if your network card drivers on the PC are updated? Sometimes outdated drivers can really cause issues with speed. It’s a good first step to ensure everything is up to date.
