What hardware do I need to upgrade to fix Wireless issue?
Hey everyone,
My laptop is getting a little old, I bought a Samsung NP-RF711 with a intel i7 CPU running 2GHz and 8Gigs of ram back in 2011. Currently, I am paying for 1Gbps internet with rogers and I am getting the full speed when I run tests directly; cate5E cable.(consistently 125-135MBps on speed tests) However, wirelessly my laptop will only get 25-35MBps.
1. Is there somewhere on my laptop where I can see if its current hardware is capable of 5GHz internet or just 2.4GHz?
2. Is it possible for me to remove and upgrade this piece, if so, does anyone have a link to a good product.
3. Is my 2.0GHz CPU to slow for the internet I've signed up for?
**other notes. my wife's laptop Samsung NP530U3B from 2012 intel i5 CPU 1.6GHz 4GB of ram. Is consistently running 80MBps wirelessly on speed tests.
I appreciate everyone's time and any responses to this message
