Question

Slow download speed on brand new laptop

Aug 17, 2017 9:20AM PDT

I just bought a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad t470 and out of the box it has <1 mbps download speed on my schools Wi-Fi, which normally averages 120 mbps. I don't have time to return it as I'm currently enrolled in a coding class. How can I fix this?

Take the laptop to a wifi hot spot and test it there.
