Windows 10: "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem" Wi-Fi troubleshooting

I think my pc has limited wi-fi connection since I'm only getting 3MB download speed, and my router says it has 60-50MB. I know it's 3x8=24MB. Anyways, I tried troubleshooting and I got the error "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem".This is what my network adapters look like.

How to troubleshoot slow Wi-Fi

I regularly experience slow Wi-Fi on my PC, generally for a few hours every few days. Other devices on the same network are fine. If I try using my phone as a hotspot for the PC (i.e., using cellular data) then I have no problem. I try the easy stuff (power cycling everything, turning all other devices off, rebooting the PC) with usually no effect. I'm looking for advice on how I can better isolate the cause of this problem.

I had this issue for about 12 hours last night / this morning, but now things are back to normal.

My slow PC setup (&lt1Mbps):

But my phone doesn't have the same problem (~11Mbps):

And using my phone as a hotspot works (~15Mbps) so the PC/TP-link dongle seem fine:

Another thing worth mentioning is that I am running Ubuntu Server 16.04 in a VirtualBox on this PC, although that's not new and I have the same problem even if I close the VirtualBox.

As I mentioned, this problem is not happening right now for me. I'm looking for advice to prevent this or more likely troubleshoot this for next time.

• What steps should I take to isolate the problem when it happens next time?
• Is it possible to troubleshoot this with my budget wifi dongle and router, or is it impossible without spending some cash on upgrading one or both of them?
• Should I install anything (Windows or linux) to help monitor my network to help troubleshoot this next time? How would I use this?

 

Wi-Fi errors (Windows 10)

I'm currently troubleshooting a HP laptop (HP G62-a10SQ to be more specific). The problem is that it doesn't want to connect to any Wi-Fi network. It leaves me with the generic error "Can't connect to this network." I've tried these steps so far

• Restarting the computer
  
• Flushing DNS
  
• Releasing and renewing the ipconfig
  
• Uninstalling the driver
  
• Reinstalling the driver
  
• Reseating the Wi-FI module
  
• Checking Windows Update for any drivers
  
• Updating the driver in Device Manager
  
• Temporarily removing my Wi-Fi encryption
  
• Trying to connect to a different Wi-Fi network outside of my network
  
• Probably more troubleshooting steps I can't remember atm (I will edit the post if I remember anything)
