Title pretty much says it all.
More details:
I have two laptops. One is an HP DV7 with pretty much the maximum specs you could order from HP four years ago. 16GB Ram, i7 Processor, etc. I guess the important info for this question is that I have a Ralink RT5390R 802.11/g/n Wifi Adapter.
Since this Laptop is 17", it stays in my room and I don't carry it across campus. I have a Dell 14" laptop with relatively low specs but it has an SSD so it's somewhat fast. i3 process and 8GB RAM.
So the real question. My dorm room is pretty small. So I'm testing these laptops in the same area. My HP's WiFi is annoyingly slow. YouTube videos barely load. I get disconnected from online games often. I often get disconnected from the Internet altogether. "DNS Probe" error or "Unable to connect to the Internet" error on Chrome. Yet, my iPhone and my Dell have the University's blazing fast 100MB/s connection.
I haven't dropped my HP, hell it's in way better condition than my Dell. I already followed another Thread's suggestion of resetting my Wireless Adapter Drivers via the Command Prompt. The internet was decent for a little bit, then it got back to the disconnections and painfully slow loading times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! And let me know if you need more information than I have given,
Thanks in advance!
