I upgraded to higher fiber internet speed. The test on my computer is showing that the modem speed is as it should be:

160 Mbps

But my device (a gaming computer) is much slower:

66 Mbps

I'm using a wireless USB adapter. The model is DLink DWA-182C1

Do I need to upgrade something on my computer to get higher speed?I think we need some clarification. How many different computers are you talking about? How did you conduct these tests? When you did the test that showed 160 Mbps, were doing that via a wireless connection to your modem/router, or via Ethernet CABLE connected to your computer? Signal Strength will affect the sync speed. If the wireless connections signal is weaker than excellent then it will sync at a slower speed to maintain a handshake. How strong is signal strength.

Also what make/model is the gaming computer or if custom build, all the specs of it?I did several tests on different websites (like http://testmy.net/) and I did a test on my internet provider website (Bell). This test show the actual speed of my modem (it's somewhere inside a WALL) and the speed of my device (my PC). I have to use wireless connection.

I phoned my provider and they said it's not the fault of the modem, because the speed is good, so the problem must be my hardware.

My signal strength look good (see attatchement)

My computer is this one:

[attachment DELETED by admin to conserve space]Please try connecting directly with an ethernet cable and doing the test again. You may be pleasantly surprised by the result...Quote
