So, guyz I have been using Jio fibre for almost 2yrs ,150mpbs plan. Speed was approx same for 1.5yrs but recently from 3-4 months getting speed aroudn 90-100mpbs only.

 Airtel fibre is giving 200mps plan at the same rate of Jio 150mbps plan, So i switched from Jio to airtel on 7th May.

The problem here is all the sites are opening smoothly on all my devices as they used to open on JIo fibres Except my laptop,

Laptop is taking  much time to to load websites like amazon, flipkart ,desdime and etc though Youtbe and Netflix are working fine as before.

Tried router restart,

tried laptop update

tried wifi reboot n passwd change n all,

None of the steps were of any help at all, Airtel fibre still lagging on Laptop but as soon as switvh t jiofbire wifi all sites are working smoothly,

Fed of this strange behaviour, had there been any prblem in my laptop, it would have shown same symtopms with Jio fibre

on the other hand if its Airtel fibre problem why is it working smoothly on all my smart devices.

Expert advice needed , Thanx is in Order 😊

Or wifi card issue on your laptop.

Are you connecting to 5GHZ wifi or 2.4GHZ one?  Make sure the dual mode is active in router settings and you are connecting to 5GHZ one.

If you are already using 5GHZ, are you using any repeater or use the laptop far away from router?

Both are of similar speeds? I find 5Ghz one offering the advertised speeds in Jio and Hathway, 2.4 one shows almost half of that. May be you should contact the customer service once.

I think i can understand the reason behind this strange behavior of your laptop. Check signal strength of Airtel wifi (both 2.4 and 5 GHz), repeat it with jio fiber if possible. Then check website loading speed over LAN connection, if there is no issue with LAN then weak wifi signal is culprit here. Check and report here.

weak signal shall not give 24-25mb download speed, even 4k video playing easily, only issue coming via browsing

Try clearing cache/temporary files of chrome browser and update chrome if any

Also clear temp files of your laptop, restart and try

if you are talking about 24-25 Mbps speed then even on low network strength you will get it. Dont be confused between Mbps and MBps. Did you check page speed over LAN connection?

Connect your mobile to your Airtel network and using that mobile, make a hotspot over Wi-Fi and connect to that mobile hotspot (if your mobile supports) otherwise try doing USB tethering via mobile(turn off laptop Wi-Fi)  and see if that improves your browsing speed on laptop, if it does then there's some configuration problem in your Airtel router.

The same issue happened once with my connection.

2-5 seconds to load simple webpage and downloads were just fine.

I adjusted antennas to 90 degrees facing upward and this resolved all those issues 😅

Could not figure out for straight two days before realising that antenna position is messed up and not in original state.

You can tell them to replace your router if they're denying to configure it. A friend of mine called them two or three times, initially they denied, later they replaced it, just give them some random reason like connection will disconnect and reconnect or any other reason ,worth giving a try. Before this if you have any other laptop, you can try in that first if it's still same in another laptop. Usually this gets resolved by itself, sometimes Airtel fibre acts weird.
