to get higher speed, your wifi needs to be in 5GHz or in dualband 2,4GHz+5GHz
5GHz has short distance, laptop should be nearby wifi router (same room)

Boost speed, probably no.
If the laptop WiFi device is only 10/100, that what it is.

A USB WiFi adapter would work.

BCM94352HMB Dual-Band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless Rate 867Mbps

usb adapter would have same issue, laptop in basement, router on 2nd floor
powerline wifi maybe?

Then it IS a case of WiFi + distance.
