Hello Eight-forums,
Since I installed Windows 8.1, my download speed gets huge drops. My ping and upload speeds are fine, but only my download speed has problems. I am using a wireless network adapter: Asus PCE-N15. Before I installed W8.1, I had no issues at all with it. I already tried installing different drivers and I am now using the latest version from the chipset maker Realtek (RTL8192CE-VA4 version 2007.12.419.2013). I installed it manually through the device manager. I also use the wireless connection 802.11 g, because my router is not compatible with n. I do think it is a software based problem, because the hardware is only 2 months old and worked fine on Windows 8. Other computers in my house don't have any instability problems. I can maybe use a cable for internet, but that would go through my hole house, so that's not a solution.
I added a picture of the ipconfig /all maybe it is useful for your guys:
Here is also a picture of the latest speed-test I did (ping and upload are fine, but download is very bad, it stays 0 at the start for some seconds and then it gets a big peak. This test is one of the worse):
Also here is the graph of the download speed, it is really not stable:
I hope someone finds a solution for me, because I am getting really frustrated after some time. I also don't want to reinstall 8. I also have heard that many other people have different WiFi problems with Windows 8.1.
Edit: I already changed the channel of my router, so it is not interfering with each other.
Greetings killerboye.
