I'm completely stumped by this. I have two computers, one a laptop, one desktop. Both running Windows 10, compared using the same identical USB 3.0 wifi adapter. The older laptop is consistently getting speeds in the range of 550mbps down, where as the very new and powerful desktop is getting speeds around 300 down. Upload speeds and latency are also worse with the desktop. I tested both in the same position in the house to account for signal loss. I've used Fast.com and Speedtest.net, and am getting the same results.
I've reset the router to factory defaults, used the same IP address to make sure it wasn't some kind of throttling from the router. I've tested the Wifi adapter on various USB ports in case there was something wrong with the hardware, and its always the same.
What on earth is causing this ~200Mbps loss between computers?
