Is wifi supposed to be like this?

[Snake]

I've got alot more received data than sent data, I don't know if it's supposed to be like this?
Whenever it goes like on the picture, my internet starts spiking, lagging and.. well.. it becomes shit.
Everything home works perfect though, playstation, phone, internet tv, except for my damn wifi.

Btw, it's wifi on a PC, not a laptop, sounds like one of the dumbest things to do, but yeah.



I've always wondered why the sent data is so much lower than the received data. I tried googling it but there everyone had the opposite issue.

If you don't have 2.4Ghz
Whenever all ur neighbors get connected to their WiFi ur internet will be slightly slower

Well damn, heard about that, I changed my channel specifically for that reason. I think my ISP is just ripping me off straight, god damn it.

Your data received is higher because most of the times you are downloading data, not uploading. This is normal. When you go to a website, or watch a video, you are receiving or downloading data from the server. The data you send is information you upload to a server.

Very helpful response, thanks bud.

Weird thing is however that I haven't been downloading anything, I'm going to have to figure this out I guess.

Just opening your internet browser and going to Google will make your receiving data higher than sending. Like everyone else has stated, it isn't actually your ISP but just what your computer is doing. Do you have any unnecessary programs opened that could be receiving data and also sending that could be running in the background?

This tends to happen a lot, especially for me

1. Get LAN'd

2. Unless you're some sort of Twitch streamer I guess you're not gonna have more sent bytes than received ones. Think about it, if you visit MPGH.net you download the whole webpage but only if you like click something, make a thread, etc. then you're sending bytes to the server. But that amount if very small.
