Wifi speed on Lenovo laptop

I have a Lenovo laptop with a Broadcom wifi adapter, the upload and download speed has fallen through the floor along with network drops outs.

The laptop is running Windows 10 1909, the laptop is currently running Microsoft wifi adapter drivers, I have downloaded drivers direct from Broadcom but the performance was even worse using the Broadcom drivers. I have checked with the Lenovo web site and according to the driver support I have upto date drivers.

I have checked wifi performance using speedtest.net on my phone sat next to my laptop and I am getting the expected broadband speed. My son has also tested the wifi speed on his PC upstairs and it is only slightly less than expected broadband speed ( to be expected based on distance from the router etc.). My broadband speed is 100+Mbps on average, the laptop is giving just 10Mbps.

Can anybody make any suggestions on what I can do to get the laptops wifi performance back to wear it should be please.

 

wifi speed degradation in win 10 laptop

I am more confused now. I have 100/100 Mbps fios. the laptop achieves a speed of 101/118 when it is restarted. that to me means my settings are proper. Within 24 hours the upload speed drops to near 35-40 Mbps. At that point a simple restart of the laptop
brings the speed back to 100/118 Mbps range. That to me suggests that some processes within the computer are limiting the upload speed. all other computers are working at the specified FIOS speeds. I have tried using Ethernet as well as wifi.
