Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver Windows 10

As per the issue description you are not getting the proper download/upload speed when connected to internet. There can be a number of reasons for slow Wi-Fi connection in Windows, some common issues that can cause these problems are:

• Corrupted or incompatible drivers.
• Missing updates.
• Network connection settings.
• Hardware or software problems.
• Inappropriate distance from the router or obstruction.
• Interference with other devices.

A wireless network router has a limited broadcast range. The further the computer is from the router, the weaker the broadcast signal. Solid objects, such as walls, metal furniture, and electrical appliances might interfere with the signal and decrease the usable range.

For testing purposes, move the computer closer to the router and minimize interference from electrical devices. If testing the connection with the computer near to the router proves that the wireless connection does not disconnect at a significant interval, you can move the computer to determine the range of the connection.

Let’s first run the Network and Network Adapter troubleshooter and check if that provides any useful information regarding this issue.

The issue could also be related to the Network Adapter drivers and other updates. I want to inform you that updates will be released by Microsoft. So, I would suggest you to keep checking your Windows updates not only important one but optional too. If any available try to install them and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

First try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the Network Adapter drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.

If issue still persists, then install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that works.
