Aniketh S from Dell Care helped me out!  He went remote on my computer and figured out that the resolution was to disable the killer network control auto-bandwidth settings.  I went from about 100 Mbps down and 0.36 Mbps Up to 520 Mbps down and 80 Mbps up!  Thank you so much Aniketh! * Click the Windows icon* Type killer* Click Killer Control Center or Killer Network Manager* Click Settings- Turn Killer Prioritization Engine to Off* Under System Settings- Turn Advanced Stream Detect to Off* Click Set Bandwidth Limits- Set the Upload and Download speeds according to your paid for connection* Click Apply Changes* Close the Killer screen
Hey everybody, I'm kind of at my wits end.  I purchased the new Alienware Aurora R13 in November, and it arrived early December.  I purchased it because I need a bigger, more stable computer when I'm streaming or talking to friends on Discord while playing poker.  Sometimes I'll try to get on webcam or I'll try to screenshare to show my pokertracker 4 (it's a program that tracks your poker play and keeps hands histories for studying, etc), and I'm not able to.  At first I thought it was the wireless within the desktop (which is still ridiculous), so I purchased a Netgear Powerline adapter so I can have it hard wired from my router.  I understood I would have slower speeds than using a direct cable to my router, but the computer is upstairs in my office, while the router is downstairs in the laundry room. Despite doing this, I had no better results.  When I get on discord, I'll have full connection, but as soon as I try to get on webcam or do the screenshare, my connection drops to 1 bar.  I have a MSI laptop computer right next to me with a speedtest showing I'm getting approximately 500Mbps down an 110 Mbps up, so I know it's not my internet.  I've tried everything, from googling to even going on the Dell Support where they did a remote takeover on my computer while I sat there and watched the mouse move.  Does anybody have suggestions on what I can do?  I'm getting sort of desperate at this point.  It's making me upset that I spent over $2,000 on a desktop for something that I cannot use it on.  Attached is the screenshot of the speedtest I conducted.  It's just so inconsistent.    [IMAGE]
