So my computer is running on 17-18 mps and my laptop is on 80mps plus. why is that?
Both are on wired and the computer is a custom build and newer.
 
Solution
I would check the drivers on the desktop. Also - have you tried swapping cables (to eliminate all issues, unplug it from the laptop, plug it into the PC - don't switch the router port). It should run at close to the same speeds.
