Slow internet on 1 laptop but not the others.

<< < (4/4)

The laptop was manufactured in 2011 I believe, The Asus Router supports AC and gigabyte speeds so I assume its a newer one.
 (Bought it in August)

I have already found channel 3 had the least interference with surrounding areas with a tablet app.

Resource monitor doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.

And the results here

"Your DNS resolver returns IP addresses for names that do not exist "

Is this something to cause a problem I am having?

Boggin:
I get that wildcarding with my ISP and think it's probably the ISP making some extra money on the side as I don't have any problems with my ADSL.

I think it's probably time to find out if there are any known compatibility issues between the router and the adapter, although I don't know what you could replace either with but as your Kindle is also affected, then perhaps you need to look for another router.

There is one more thing that you could try if the router has that option and that is to change the Channel Width from 20/40MHz to just 40MHz.

That will maintain the n data transfer rate although I'm not sure if it would have any effect on the actual bandwidth speed, but you seemed to have tried everything else.

Is the router still under warranty ?

I remember switching it to 40MHz for awhile but don't recall a change.

It is under warranty, but my parents aren't going to send it back for this reason. How would I go about finding if compatibility issues exist?

Boggin:
Contact either Lenovo support from my link or Google for ASUS support, but I think Lenovo could have a list of compatible routers although this could be academic if your parents wouldn't return/change the router.
