Hello Friends!

This is an old thread but I think I may have found the problem and I would
like to know your opinion.
As a refresher, my wifi speed on my phone is significantly faster than on
my 10-year old laptop.

Could this be the reason?

from:
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wi-Fi-internet-slow-on-my-laptop-but-fast-on-my-phone
It could be the computer's Wi-Fi antenna. If the computer only supports
2.4GHz connections it will be slow. If it can use 5GHz but only with
802.11n it will be slower than a phone that has 802.11ac. Also the phone
might use MIMO to increase its Wi-Fi bandwidth. Phones are usually upgraded
more often than computers, so the phone probably has a newer, better
antenna and support of newer faster Wi-Fi standards.

If that's the problem, could this be a possible solution?

If you want to speed up your laptop check the WIFI adapter and if it is an
older version buy a new wifi adapter with the latest WIFI (Wi-Fi 6, or
802.11ax today) - which will probably have to be an external USB dongle

Thank you for your time!
