I've been having a frustrating experience with my WiFi. My phone has an excellent connection, letting me download and stream without any hassle. But my PC? It's a different story. Downloads are painfully slow, even for smaller files, and I can't figure out why. I did some speed tests: my phone clocked in at 48.3 Mbps for downloads and 35.1 Mbps for uploads, while my PC only managed 15.1 Mbps download and 8.60 Mbps upload. Both devices are in the same room, and the router isn't too far either. I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'm looking for some help to solve this issue!

What kind of PC do you have, a laptop or a desktop? Knowing your make/model and specs can help. Sometimes, if you're using a desktop, it might not even have a wireless antenna or could be positioned poorly for a good signal.
Can you check?
It sounds like your PC's WiFi adapter might be outdated or just not performing well. Upgrading to a faster WiFi card or using a USB dongle could definitely improve your connection.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Sorry about that! I have a desktop PC, but I'm unsure of the exact model. I do have a wireless antenna, though. I’ll try moving it around to see if that helps.
