Wifi problems are really hard to fix because all the good stuff is inside the wifi chip, so not much info shows up on your screen. Maybe give it a try by switching between 2.4G and 5G to see which one works better. Did you actually turn off the laptop? If you did that, you might notice if an antenna isn't connected properly.

I'm going to try switching over to 2.4 right now that I can get home from work. I still haven't looked at my brand-new laptop since I bought it yesterday.

Try putting the laptop near the router to see if it gets a better signal number. If it's still very slow, then maybe your wifi card isn't working right.

That day when I took my new laptop home, I set it right next to the router to keep downloading files. It felt like I was using the same speed as before, around fifty to sixty megabytes per second.

That would mean that there is some issue with poor signal levels. Those are the worst to find could be a issue with the unit, the antenna or something silly like the case of the laptop blocks signals in some strange way related to how your house is constructed. Could you take both laptops to say a public library and see if they connect at different rates.
