Hi KRey,

 

Please check if you have SmartByte installed on your laptop. Please check the link speed of the LAN adapter while connected to the router( wired).

Hi Oliver,

 

Thanks again for the reply.

 

I've confirmed that there is no SmartByte installed on the laptop.

Also confirmed that the link speed of the LAN adapter while wired to the router is 1000/1000 (Mbps) per your video linked.

 

Wonder what it could be if not those above?

 

Kind regards,

KRey
