Hi, I see you're dealing with a Dell 9570 laptop and the wireless card isn't performing well. After switching to the 9260 chipset, you're still getting only around 30Mbps instead of the full 100Mbps your ISP offers. Your Android device, however, is connecting at 95Mbps. It looks like the issue might be related to how Windows 10 identifies your network—some reports suggest it's using 802.11a instead of the expected 802.11n, which caps speeds at 54Mbps. Have you tried updating your network drivers or checking for firmware updates on the laptop?
