Hello!
For giving, I assembled a computer from what it was: an ASRock 775i65GV motherboard (BIOS P1.80), an Intel Celeron CPU 2.66 GHz, it costs Windows XP. Internet speed when connecting a computer via cable is about 38 Mbit / s, and when connected via WiFi, the speed drops to 16 Mbit / s.
Writes that the signal level is excellent. I am using DWA-125.
At the same time, on my stationary computer, the speed of the Internet, either by cable or by WiFi
(with the same DWA-125) is approximately the same and amounts to 45 Mbps.
A huge number of components used by this connection are installed on the "country" computer:
- client for Microsoft networks,
- file and printer access service for Microsoft networks,
- QoS packet scheduler,
- Realtek EAPPkt Protocol,
- AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x) v3.7.5.0,
- Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder,
- Internet Protocol (TCP / IP).
Is it possible to somehow increase the speed, or are all the problems related to the hardware of the computer?
Thanks for any help and tips.

Hello. I think that the blame is the old Windows XP, which you installed on the "country" computer. Maybe even something with the driver for the D-Link DWA-125, which was developed specifically for Windows XP. Or maybe this is a feature of the system itself.
The reading system is only installed. It is unlikely that the low speed over Wi-Fi is due to some third-party programs or settings. As an idea, you can try disabling all components except "Internet Protocol (TCP / IP)". But this is unlikely to somehow affect the speed.
Install Windows 7 better. You haven't written how much RAM is in your computer, but I'm sure that the 7 will work no worse than XP. There will be fewer problems. Not only with the speed of your internet connection.
Or just laugh. The speed is not critically low.
