Slow speeds on certain devices

My wife and I recently started working from home.  The Orbi system has been working great and I get 90mb speed on all my devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macbook Air and a Lenovo Mini Windows 10 machine.  But for some reason, both our work machines have terrible network speeds, bouncing from 1 to 15mb.  Both are notebooks (HP Elitebook & Lenovo T460) and work fine on outside networks and in the office.  I have tried moving devices around the house with no luck.  Could there be any wireless settings on the notebooks that could be changed to better "see" the orbi network?

    Hello ColtzNut

     

    Do you have the latest drivers for the laptops?
