Slow Wi-Fi internet Speed on PC

Hi,

I'm having persistent problems with slow Internet speeds via Wi-Fi on my PC as compared to my mobile phone and laptop . When I run speed test on the three devices that are in the same position in the house I get the following :-




device

download speed

upload speed

laptop - Windows 10

74.04 Mbps

18.05 Mbps

phone - Android

65.9 Mbps

18.3 Mbps

PC -Windows 10

11.89 Mbps

15.51 Mbps

this problem has been ongoing for several weeks now and has been getting worse - previously I was getting about half the laptop speeds on my PC . I'm running windows 10 professional on my PC and here are the specifications :-



Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz

Installed RAM 16.0 GB

Device ID DBFA283E-2CA2-4DE8-805A-2DD39B0BD789

Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA921

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor



Here are the specifications of the Wi-Fi card :-

↑ Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265

primary Auto IP Address: 192.168.1.183 / 24

Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Dhcp Server: 192.168.1.254

Physical Address: 60:57:18:0B:B6:8E

Connection Speed: 195 Mbps


so far I've completed the following all with no result!

  • A simple restart
  • disabling and re enabling the Wi-Fi card
  • Flushed DNS via the command prompt
  • manually set DNS settings in properties for the device
  • did a full reinstall of windows

None of this has worked - I am three floors up from where the router is so Ethernet is not an alternative especially as I also have a problem with TP link powerline plugs that I am trying to resolve separately!



Please can you advise how I can get Wi-Fi on my PC at a similar speed to that I receive on my laptop .

Many thanks
