Windows 10: Laptop internet speed slower than friends laptop on same newtork

Here's the deal. I'm using a 2019 Origin built laptop. Called like an Evo 16 or something. This is a $2500 laptop.My friend, has like a $600 ROG laptop, same year. Both systems are windows 10.Just got my new wifi network setup spectrum, and I thought it was odd that for a total of 1000mbps that I bought, I'm only getting about 50 mbps download speed.My friend connects his little rink-a-dink laptop to the network on top of mine, and he's getting 600mbps, 100 mbps minimum.I went ahead and checked the drivers for my internet adapters and everything said it as up to date. Yes I've rebooted the m

Looking for Laptop for Friend

My friend wants a good laptop for just basic things like music and internet and a little gaming.

I'm looking on Newegg and have found a few that seem pretty good. Anyone have any suggestions? Preferably below $600.

Why is this happening??? As to why I am getting Slow Internet Speed on My Laptop. Is there any Solution for that to increase WiFi Internet Speed on Laptop. Please check & let me know.

 

Asus N580VD slow internet speed

Hi Blair,

There are several factors that affect your internet speed. A few would be connection speed, network traffic, hardware capability, and type of connection. To help us identify what might be causing the slow internet speed on your laptop, allow me to ask the
following information:

• How's your laptop connected to the network? Is it directly wired to the modem/router or wirelessly connected?
• Were your other computers that were getting 100 Mbps download speed connected to the same network?
• Were there other devices connected to the network while you tried to download?
• Have you tried connecting your laptop to a different network? Did you get the same internet speed?

In the meantime, please run a speed test on your laptop. If the internet speed is slower that your internet package, then you may try to update the drivers of your network adapters to ensure that it's up-to-date. Please check out and follow the steps provided
on this link: Update drivers in Windows 10.

If you're trying to download while your laptop is wirelessly connected to your network, then kindly check its wireless adapter speed by checking its Wireless Network Connection Status. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the wireless icon on your system tray, click Open Network & Internet settings, then click
   Wi-Fi.
2. On the right pane, click Change adapter options.
3. Right-click your Wireless Network Connection and click
   Status.

Please take a screenshot of the status page and kindly include it on your reply.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards.
