Extremely Slow Internet Speed on Fresh Kali Linux Install (Only Getting KB/s)

I just installed Kali Linux recently, and I’m facing weird internet issues. When I check my speed on fast.com, it shows around 7–10 Mbps, but whenever I actually try to download anything (like using wget, apt-get, or browser), the speed drops to around 1–2 Mbps or even less. Sometimes it’s just in KB/s. Here’s what I know: * Same Wi-Fi connection gives full speed on Windows and mobile. * No VPN or proxy is being used. * Happening on both terminal and browser downloads. * Using built-in Wi-Fi adapter on a fresh Kali install. What could be throttling the real download speed on Kali? Is it a driver issue, DNS problem, or something else? 1
