Download speed slow on one pc

[神様 colledk]

Hello everyone
I've had a stationary pc for 2-3 years now, and this have always been my problem.
I have 100/100 internet. When I go to my room and boot up my pc, and go into speedtest.net to look at my ups and downs, it won't even get above the 10-mark. Whenever I do the same with my MacBook, even though they're right beside eachother, my Mac gets 70/6 atleast.
My pc is medion akoya P5371 H.
If anyone have any kinds of solution please let me know.
Thanks in advance

In that case I'd consider the PC wireless capabilities to be poor. Check and reinstall Network drivers. What is the signal strength and speed shown in windows.

Control Panel > View network status and tasks > Wireless (Connections)

How does that compare to your Mac?

On my pc my internet has a 3bar, speed is 58 mbps, but sent is only 3mil bytes, whilst recieved is 150mil bytes.
Maybe it's something with my router?
It's a Realtek RTL8188CU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network

No idea, don't use a Mac

Even without knowing the details of the Mac it looks as if the PC wireless isn't as good. Not as strong signal reception, susceptable to interference. As you mentioned USB I'm guess it's USB wifi?

If it is you could try using a USB extension lead to place it close to the router/modem. If that improve it to a reasonable degree you know its the PC's wifi. If that is the case, and I suspect it is, you could purchase a better wireless adapter/card for your PC or purchase a pair of powerline adaptors to get a wired connection using your homes electrical cabling. Personally I prefer powerlines as they don't get wifi interference or spike and drops.

It's a wireless router without USB, I don't even know why it's called USB. I can send a picture of it if you want?

From what I can tell, quick internet search, it's a small dongle that plugs into a USB port. If thats right a picture isn't needed. Just try the extension cable suggestion. Or if you can be bothered and it's possible move you PC nearer/next the router/modem. That will give you the best signal. Do another speed test. You will then see how good the wireless along with how much your speed is dropping over the distance.

[A no-brainer]

Wifi has different standards with different speed it can deal with. The older a Wifi module in a PC or a laptop is, the slower the speed it can deal with.

I think I wrote it wrong, cause when I looked at the router itself it was called something totally different

Where is this Wifi module located? And can it be replaced?

Wifi on a desktop PC can be onboard (on the mainboard) or be a seperate card, the later is easy to replace, just take one card out, place the other in. It should also be possible to deactivate an onboard Wifi and activate a wifi card that is put in later. For laptops I doubt it can be done, but it might depend on the laptop, the manufacturer should know.

Before you decide what to do, you should find out what your Wifi module is and what standard it is using and if it uses the fastest standard it can use.

I have absolutely no idea of Mac so you might ask related question to this in the Mac forum on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/

For Windows googling with "How to identify wireless card manufacturer & model" compared with your Windows version should give you a lot of How-tos to help.
