Windows 10: My laptop recognizes wired connection, but the speed is the same as wifi, what do i do?

I usually use wired connection on my laptop, but a few days ago, my ethernet speed went drastically down, and now is the same as wifi. My laptop recognizes the ehternet cable, but its like its not connected, I used to get 60mb/s when downloading something, but now its at 3mb/s. I dont know what to do, and I was hoping to get some help, Ive tried everything.

Network Wired and wifi speed

I have Time Warner Internet service at 300/25. I have an HP Spectre laptop connected via a Targus USB 3.0 SV2K 1 Gig Ethernet docking unit. On wired connection I can only get to 95 MBps..On wifi mid 40's. On another desktop unit I am getting consistent
service in the 295 range. The speed and duplex is set to auto detection currently...tried to change it to 1 gig at full duplex but it just kicks me off wired and onto wifi. Is there a setting that I am missing that would get help get throughput at close
to the 300/25 rate? Seems like somehow the spped is being limited. I tried contacting Targus but honestly they don't have a clue! Thanks for any help.

 

Wifi speed issue in HP Laptop

Hello,

I bought this laptop last Diwali (November 2014). It had connecting to WiFi networks which got resolved in Windows 10 upgrade but now issue currently being faced by me is WiFi reception and speed issue. Since I have updated my laptop to Windows 10 I get
slow speed on WiFi. I tried disconnecting all my other devices accessing WiFi but yet the speed I receive is just 10-20% of my full speed WiFi plan, even sitting next to router, connecting LAN wire every time is not feasible.

Looking for some solution at earliest as my work is based on Skype, and loads of browsing sites!

Regards!
