So I’ve got my own private laptop, and I’ve got a laptop from my work. I’ve recently upgraded my internet subscription and have now got a 100mbps for download speed. On my work laptop, when checking speedtest.net I easily get 65mbps as download speed. On my private laptop, I only get about 15 to 25mbps. First I thought it was because of Manjaro, but it has a dual boot setup, so also checked in Windows, where I get similar speeds. On my phone I get about 40mps, on my Raspberry about 15mbps. Now I’m not really thrown off my by Raspberry, but I would like to have higher speeds on my private laptop.
Does anybody know what might cause these slower speeds? My private laptop is a Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3 (2016), if that gives any information that might help.
Without further technical details, I’d say your work laptop comes with an 802.11AC and your private laptop with an 802.11N WiFi card (or worse: an 802.11G…)
