My computer has about 3x slower wifi than any other device in the house along with 1 minute long full dissconnects that are usually every 5 minutes.

Question

I've tried most things chatgpt tells me but none of it seems to be working. I don't know if this is virus related or maybe just the wifi but it makes using this computer impossible. Ive tested other devices in the same location and they typically get upwards of 150 mpbs while my computer is getting 30-60 at best. Please help!

If that does not resolve the problem, go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website to download and reinstall (not update) the version of WiFi (WLAN) drivers they provide.

If you have any difficulty locating that support page, click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.
