Hello,
I have an issue with internet speed (notably download - ping and upload speeds are fine) on a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 Home. We recently upgraded the internet in our house and that is when this became noticeable. The main issue is that all devices in the house get about 45-55Mbps download speeds but this one laptop tends to be in the 0.5-1.5Mbps range (highest I've seen once or twice was 3). There are no issues with connecting to the network itself and connection does not drop. Browsing the internet speed is borderline tolerable with basic websites, but downloading files is a huge pain. I know these types of questions have been asked before, but I genuinely feel like I've tried almost everything I came across online to fix this. What I've already attempted:
I'm out of ideas. The one huge thing I haven't tried is wired connection (this laptop does not have an ethernet port for some reason and I haven't had a chance to get a USB adapter). Despite all of my googling the last 24hours regarding this, I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know what information I should be providing - ask anything. I'm just frustrated and tired at this point so any help is appreciated.

I know these types of questions have been asked before, but I genuinely feel like I've tried almost everything I came across online to fix this. What I've already attempted:
- Reset router/modem
- Ran the network troubleshooting - no issues found
- Checked for any services running in the background hogging network
- Ran through all of the things "to do" on the microsoft page about slow internet (can't find the link right now)
- Pinged the default gateway to check for good router connection - overall to my untrained eye everything in the network settings looks as if everything was running perfectly at 65Mbps...
- Updated network driver; uninstalled network driver for fresh install
- Updated Windows; uninstalled various March/April Windows updates
- Gone into CMD and: renewed IP, flushed DNS, reset winsock, used the netsh commands
- I even figured out a way to get gpedit.msc on Home and messed with the reservable bandwith %
- I got desperate thinking something was throttling the wifi in the system and did a fresh install of Windows 10 Home - still slow
