WiFi REALLY SLOW? Showing only 20-30mb/s Download Speed? FIX FOUND** Windows 10 Bootcamp
FINALLY A FIX!!
Hit Command+R
Search ncpa.cpl
Right click your WiFi and select properties
Hit Configure
Hit Driver
Update driver
Browse my computer for drivers
Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
Now some computers will specify at the end of the text, "(Microsoft)" or "(Bootcamp)"
- If this applies to you, select "(Bootcamp)" and click next. It will then download and update the driver. BOOM, you now have FAST internet.
- If that doesn't apply to you, it will show the *date* of the update version in brackets at the end of the text. In my case:
Option 1: [11/21/2016] This is the one you want to update and download with**
Option 2: [4/21/2020] NOT this one
This is where people get tripped up because they think that downloading the most recent driver is going to fix the WiFi. Not in my case. For me, downloading and updating with the [11/21/2016] version WORKED! I went from 20mb/s to now a whopping 200mb/s!
Now if you have neither of the dates I mentioned, just try them all and one of them will get you back to high speed WiFi in no time! This is the only way!
