your old laptop runs smoothly at around 32mb/s, while your new one lags between 2-4mb/s across all tasks. this affects everything from streaming to software downloads. i’m not sure what’s causing the slowdown. if you have any tips or fixes, please share. currently, i’m using a lenovo loq with a 7th gen ryanze and 8gb ram, whereas my previous model was an hp pavilion 15 with a 5th gen ryanze and the same specs.

Check for Lenovo Update Center to refresh your laptop's drivers. It seems there might be a driver problem.

Ensure the newest network drivers are up to date, as recommended. What speed do you charge for with your internet provider? Also confirm you're not mixing up megabytes (MB) and megabits (Mb). A rate of 4 M bits per second equals exactly 32 Mbps (also known as 32 M bps). Steam offers a feature to display download speeds in bits per second (Steam > Settings > Download), and it's important to check that the same setting is applied on both devices.

I attempted it, but it seems all my drivers are current.

Use a physical Ethernet cable to link your laptop directly to the router. This ensures a stable connection and helps confirm if the issue lies with Wi-Fi rather than the network setup.

drivers are current and verified through Windows and the Lenovo app. I made sure not to mix them up, and I completed both download and speed tests.

as discussed earlier, one byte equals eight bits, which is why 4MB equals 32Mb—something that often causes confusion. We’ve dealt with this too; we simply adjust the speed by multiplying or dividing by eight when needed. That’s why a 1Gb download speed on fiber can appear as 125MB in many programs.

The new laptop supports 802.11ac, just like the old one does.
