Windows Extremely Frustrating Wi-Fi Adapter Issue

Finally bit the bullet and bought the tp-link Adaptor.

Tested it for an hour. The connection seems to be stable. But the speed doesn't go above 1 Mbps now fml. Installed all the drivers and everything.

Fast.com on my mobile shows above 10 Mbps but testing on the PC is always 900 Kbps or thereabouts.

@JMP can I PM you about some doubts I have regarding BIOS updation ?
 
I used to have a laptop that no matter what dongle i used, cheaper or better ones, it never gave me good speeds. kept disconnecting and tons of issues.
the laptop had a common bluetooth and wifi receiver and i think that was the issue. but even using external dongle for wifi didnt help
when i used to connect any bluetooth device, my internet would become very slow and crawl.

I think this issue happens with how certain wifi devices, isp setup (modem router configurations) and bluetooth interfere and leads to issues. i could never diagnose or solve the issue.

The same laptop at a friends place with wifi dongle or onboard wifi never had any issue with wifi and bluetooth connected simultaneously or independently (his isp was different)

I have the same issue with my laptop. But instead of buying a WiFi adaptor, I bought a bluetooth adaptor instead and since then no issues when using bluetooth and internet together.

Usually happens when both devices are sharing ports and interrupt request (or IRQ). Common on older and currently in cheaper laptops though mostly now a days such architecture is obsolete.
