For some reason the internet speed on my laptop is 8mbps, whereas on my mac it is 50mbps. I have no idea why this is, but as I am in China and need to use a vpn, the internet slows to an almost impossible pace on my laptop when I connect.
I am not at all tech savvy, and so not sure what info I should provide, but my laptop is a Dell with windows 10, and the hardware says the wifi protocol is 802.11n, and the network band is 2.4GHz. The laptop was bought around a year and a half ago, and it is newer than my mac.
Anybody have any ideas on how to improve the internet speed on my laptop? Thank you in advance!
