My global download speed and wireless connection take a massive hit when I play any media on my Win10 computer. I think it's the (6.34.223.5) Wireless drivers
I've been troubleshooting this issue for a year now and I have traced the problem to the R5E on-board wireless. It does not matter what video player I use or what type of file I am playing. VLC, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, YouTube, Twitch, the moment I press play my download speed drops from 50mb/s to 5mb/s at best, until I press pause on the video. It does not matter if the video is streaming or a file on my computer, nor which HDD the file is playing from, nor which program is downloading what (Internet download manager, YouTube, uTorrent).
I know it's the on-board wireless because I have tested this problem by plugging in a PCI-E wireless card and disabling the on-board, the problem goes away. The problem also does not happen when I am plugged in through Ethernet. This is very frustrating because I have a very high end components and a small video playing should not tax my system. Additionally there is no mention of this problem anywhere on the internet it seems.
Does anyone have a reason as to why the WIFI WIN 10 drivers (6.34.223.5) are still in beta? and are still the original drivers.
You can see the moment I pressed play on the video my download speed dropped significantly and stayed low until I paused. This was an offline video file.
I provided this to show disk usage, memory, etc..
