    Hi guys!

    I've got an Inspiron 15 7567 (7300HQ, 1050Ti, Intel AC-3165).

    My Wifi is so, so slow! I can barely even stream anything in high quality. Most downloads peak at around 4Mb/s when it's less than a meter from the router. I manage better speeds from all of my other devices.

    I've done a W10 clean install and left out all of the Dell crap. Don't have smartbyte installed, it's still so very slow...

    Tried Dell's Wifi-drivers and also windows update but no change...

    Would appreciate any help. I searched a bunch around the forum but other than a few "uninstall smartbyte" comments I could'nt find a solution for my issue.

    Thanks!

    Are you using the laptop with the lid closed? I have the same Dell 7567 and had problems in the past with the lid closed, only to find later that was my router config (or at least I think it is...).

    Anyway, try changing the channels of your router, try and see if the problem persists using 5Ghz wifi, etc, and don't forget to try the default wifi driver that comes with windows 10. My wifi card is the "Qualcomm QCA61A 802.11ac" (brazilian model) and I noticed a better performance using the windows 10 default driver.
