New Inspiron 13 7000 Touch 7370 Wifi slower???
I should be getting at least 40 Mbps and get that speed on my MacBook and Desktop, they are located far away in other rooms while my Dell is just 5 feet away from router. I have troubleshooted myself and ran the Dell system diagnostic:

Hi GM619, your WIFI is slower most probably due to Dell system preinstalled internet software such as SmartByte. Do disable the SmartByte, restart the computer and try the internet speed test again.

Thank you so much, getting 64 Mbps now. I should have known it was some pre-installed bloatware!
