I suspect that setting only takes effect when Windows needs to download something, such as Windows Update. My laptop was probably new and was still trying to update in the background, so the speed for everything else got capped based on that setting. The speed might have picked up after it...
Just an update. So, I figured it out. At least this appears to work, since I get over 250mbps now on the Windows 10 Home side as well as the Linux side.
I followed these instructions to change the Qos Packet Scheduler in the Group Policy of Windows 10. It was complicated by the fact that...
I made another discovery. The problem is definitely software. I just booted the Dell Inspiron with an Ubuntu Linux live USB and now all of the speed tests easily pull in over 250mbps or faster. None of the tests are stalled at 150mbps under Linux. Hardware is identical, with the 3165ac adapter...
The 3165ac supports 802.11ac, not just 802.11n, so it should not be limited to 150mbps.
Yes, the test results are from the speed test sites. I understand there is overhead and my real speed will not reach 433mbps (the max speed of 3165ac on AC network). But I'm getting one third of that speed...
It's a personal laptop, not business. No business software. And I did disable the built in nic when testing the realtek nic.
I'm not sure what opening the case will do, considering the problem still exists on the USB realtek nic. And I doubt they have the wrong nic in there, as the driver...
I continued tinkering and noticed something somewhat odd. I have a Chinese brand USB AC1200 wifi adapter that runs on a Realtek RTL8812AU chip. When I plug it into my Lenovo (running Windows 8), I get 200mbps. This is below my built-in AC adapter's speed, but still better than the 150mbps on the...
Thanks. I followed the MSI instructions, which only required changing a few settings. The results are the same.
The router model is a Ubee UBC1301.
I ran the WifiInfoView application. The results are as follows:
==================================================
SSID : [removed]...
True, but I test it multiple times with various speed tests (ookla, Xfinity, Google fiber, fast.com). They are consistent. I discard one off values. Id be happy to get 300mbps, not aiming for the theoretical max.
I thought so as well initially, but my Lenovo can pull in 400+mbps. That's faster than N can support. I currently force the router to do N/AC (to support the MacBook). When I forced the router to do AC only, my Lenovo is fine, but my Dell actually gets worse than 150mpbs speed.
The Dell...
Actually, my Lenovo laptop pulls over 300mbps (occasionally 400mbps).
My Ubee router is set to do N/AC modes, but I agree, the 150mbps cap sounds like it's running on N. The router is 801.11ac, SSID, 5Ghz. When I force it to do AC only, I actually get less than 150mbps on the Dell.
I realize...
I just got a brand new Dell Inspiron 5000 series laptop that has an Intel Dual Band 3160ac wireless card. I can only pull 150mbps on my wireless connection. Meanwhile, my 3 year old Lenovo with an Intel Dual Band 7260ac wireless card easily pulls 300mbps. My wife's 5 year old MacBook Pro's...
I have a 2012 Honda CRV that's my sister-in-law is currently using for work. She lives/works in a not-so-great area in the city, gets home late and parks her car about a block or two from her apartment.
Last week, someone broke into the Honda and stole the driver-side airbag. She wasn't using...
I recently took some engagement photos and received proofs. In some photos, the skin looked way too orange. I thought it was bad post processing by the photographer, but then saw the same photos on my fiance's MacBook and the color looked fine.
I own a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga. I already know the...
I agree and I'm the last person to try to force them to use a smartphone. They don't even care for a mobile phone at all, but due to a T-mobile promo, it turned out to be a better value to get one extra line on the family plan. Rather than let it go to waste, I'd like family members to be able...
I have a galaxy s3 that will go to my parents. It's way too complicated for them. Even the easy mode has too many options, but that's my best option so far. They just want the phone component. No email, no web browser, no text messaging. At most, an address book, but they will never add entries...
Thanks for the response. I'm downloaded Wifi Overview 360 and found a channel that seems strong. I'll give this a shot for a few days and see if it drops out again.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga. For some reason, the wifi connection seems to be very bad when I'm at home. Things would be running perfectly one minute with speedtest showing that I reach my full ISP speed of 50mbps, then literally in the next click, I can barely load a website. Chrome often...
I used to be an IT guy maybe 8 years ago, but I've left the field and my knowledge of all this stuff has faded. This might very likely be just me being dense.
My ISP bumped my speed up to 50mbps down a few days ago and I've been checking my speeds through speedtest.net periodically. I didn't...
A little more research and I found this message board:

He seems to use Permatex Ultra Black to seal off the ends between the boot and the axle.
Amazon seems to sell it for $6. If this works, it would be a heck of a lot cheaper than $500...
I went ahead and looked at the wheel well. I can access the boots that are on the wheel side very easily, but I noticed it was completely intact without any grease leakage.
I then looked at the boot that was on the other side of the axle (the transmission side?). I noticed some grease oozing...
The car will likely to be replaced in a year. But the more money I throw at it to fix things (I have to replace the tires :-/), the more I'm willing to keep it longer. But I suppose if I fix it, it may have a higher resell value.
What do you mean by clearance in my car? As in, work space in...
I've been coming here every time I run into a problem with my car. I've got a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer LS (automatic) that I purchased used last year. You helped me with my questions last year about the flex pipe and I saved a bunch of money by buying the part on my own and getting the mechanic to...
I thought about doing this. Is my current battery too far gone to revive at this point? It wouldn't start 2 days after I jumped it/drove it around. I measured the voltage this time and it was down to 7.6V, so it doesn't look good.
I suppose it's time to replace it, but I don't want to kill...
OK, here's an update and more questions...
I received the JNC660 jumper from Amazon. Pricey, but came highly recommended. Jumped the Mitsubishi without a problem.
Prior to jumping it, I measured the voltage on the battery. It was down to 9.6V. After jumping it, with the car still running, I...
A question about jumper cables now. I went and bought a Husky set at Home Depot for $20. It's 20ft, 4 gauge copper-plated aluminum. They seem to have vanished from Home Depot's website over the course of 1 day, but it's similar to this...
A lot of you are recommending a charger. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and the car is in an outdoor lot, so there's nowhere to plug it in.
I did notice solar trickle chargers that plug in through the 12v accessory power. But will that work on a 2012 CRV, as the power to the accessory...
Just an update. Brought the Honda to the dealership, had it checked and it had a failed battery code. They replaced it for free. So one down, one to go.
Thanks everyone.
Well, I got home and both cars still didn't start. Luckily, a neighbor pulled out a jumpstarter battery and I was able to start the Honda. I'm bringing it in to get it checked out and possibly replaced.
I'll probably also order that jumpstarter (JNC660, I believe) to get the other car up and...
Both cars have at least 3/4 tank of gas. I drive the crv daily, but only 5 miles each way.... so about 10 miles a day. I only drive the Mitsubishi once a week.
I know nothing about cars, so my apologies for sounding like a complete dunce.
I have two cars - a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES and a 2012 Honda CRV. It was freezing cold last night in NY and this morning, neither car would start. Dash lights come, but when I turn the key to the regular start...
Thanks for the response. Would I be able to use both the kinect and the hard drive at the same time? I want sure if it would occupy the available USB slot. I don't have the Xbox with me, so I have no clue what ports it has. It's the 360 premium.
And to be clear, when I buy a kinect unit (likely...
I know nothing about consoles and had trouble finding this info out. I have an old Xbox with a 20gb detachable HD. Can I still get a kinect unit for this? Can I still use the HD at the same time?
Sorry. Basic question, but wanted to repurposed the Xbox for some kids.
The "front pipe" - part of the exhaust system that contains the flex pipe.

OK. I don't mind, but thought it was odd finding the bare pipe on my doorstep. Seems easy to damage.
