How are you testing speeds?
Wired?
2.4gh?
5ghz?
What site are you using?
What device are you testing on?
2.4, ookla , server is on portland maine where I live Using an old ASUS A750 laptop
I use to get 110 mbps on it
2.4ghz is sensitive to interference. I haven't seen many devices other than AX devices hit 100mbps over 2.4ghz.
My AC systems usually hit around 30mbps sustained with peaks of 60-70mbps.
You can try changing what wifi channels its broadcasting on. try 1-6-11.
Is your work laptop using a vpn?
do you have a different device you can test both wired and the 5ghz off?
Thanks, I logged into my router, could not find where I change the wifi channel?
I am not using VPN on the 2.4 machine,
