Hi xps15z,
Observe the connection and report back.
Hi xps15z,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
Download speed has stayed good, but the upload speed is still hovering at 4MBPS only on this computer with your USB. All other devices are at a 12MBPS.
Hi xps15z,
Try installing it on a different computer and see if the same speed.
