i only use my laptop now, wireless.
i simply fix the problem by changing settings like QoS on and off
im speed testing with telenor.no/speedometer/ and another one, i also notice the download speed on steam.
what telenor box is it?
steam isn't a reliable speedtest site.
try different servers on speedtest.com or google fiber's speedtest site
What wireless chip is in your laptop?

do all devices have issues? or when the slow speeds happen, do wired devices slow down?
