So over the past couple months the internet speed on my laptop when connected to wifi has slowed down substantially. I have an HP laptop. Many times i try to browse the web and is says my DSN server isnt responding. Ill restart my computer a few times and then it'll start working but it has download speeds of less than 1 mbs. All other devices like phones, tablets, and my fire tv stick have no issues with the wifi and have great speeds. If I connect my laptop directly to my modem/router it has great speeds of 60mbs+. So it is definitely something with my laptops wireless connection. All my wireless drivers are updated. I'm using my computer rightt next to my router and all diagnostics come back great saying I have 90%+ signal strength. The connection is great and yet my speeds are terrible. I've also connected to different wifi sources and they always produce speeds of less than 3 mbs. Is there a problem with my wireless hardware on the computer or is there something i can do to fix this problem? Everything else with my computer is running fine and fast. Just my internet when on wifi is slow.
