Hello Sevvy
Sometimes a signal device connected to the network could be slowing down the whole wireless network you could test this by removing all devices and adding them 1 by 1 and testing the speed. You will know pretty quick if you start with your laptop only and the speeds are still slow if there is a issue with the wireless on the unit.
