Is your gateway dual band? are you using the 5Ghz channel? Are they wired???

50 GB is a pretty large file to transfer over WIFI. Have you done a lan speed test? WIFI speeds can be affected by many factors: distance, construction materials used in the house, other WIFI networks in the area, etc. Is this just a one-time file transfer you are needing to do? If so, I would try using a wired ethernet connection.

I occasionally backup some files from one computer to another on my wired network and a 100GB file takes less than 30 minutes.

Have you scanned the channels using a tool such a inssider??

There is a free version of inSSider if you look on their website. Do you mean mb or MB?

MB/s

Your second laptop has a "FE" NIC in it (Fast Ethernet 10/100 not 1000Base-T) Max transfer rate is 100Mb/s so 10MB is 80Mb/s with network overhead this is a reasonable speed.
