I have comcast 1,200 MB’s. I know, it never matches that. The phone and IPad get around 500-600. My laptop is staying around 120-140. What should I do?

If that's your laptop, it's not capable of 300 to 400 mbps. You'll have to upgrade the wireless adapter.

That model should have 802.11ac adapter, and given that it used to get 300-400mbps I'm sure it does. Something has changed. Maybe a Windows or driver update screwed it up.

I suppose you've tried moving the laptop around? Maybe give your router and laptop a reboot and see if it speeds up.

Did that today. Laptop usually stays in same room with router.

I bought this particular laptop because the specs were really good and I wanted to futureproof it for awhile.

Is your laptop connected to the 5 GHz band?
