My laptop used to be very fast on our WIFI network. But now it takes longer for it to buffer video where a desktop computer on the same network is fast. My net shows the speed on www.speedtest.net download - 27.19 mbps upload - 4.99 mbps but I am not getting this speed on the laptop. It takes forever to open Facebook and email. And for any video streaming it is very slow. I ran Malwarebytes but it didn't find anything and I have AVAST on both computers.

Here is my laptop info...
