From your descriptions, all your equipment is not new enough to support the incoming bandwidth. I would recommend getting all new equipment which supports 1 GB speeds, including the modem in the laptop or tower. . etc.

good luck

Yup. My modem supports speeds up to 100mbps. I get around 90. Xfinity upgraded my service to 200, and I still get around 90. Fortunately that's all I need to get everything I do to work fine:

My desktop, hubby's laptop, my phone (which I have a data plan for so I use the wifi when I'm home), my tablet (which is on 24/7), my printer, and two TV sets in two different rooms.

Eventually I'll get a new, upgraded modem and router. That'll probably be the same time I get a new computer, since I can't upgrade to Win11 and win10 will cease to be supported in just two years.
