UNSOLVED
Wifi Speed Issue
I recently updated a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop to Windows 10, 64 bits, 512 GB SSD, and 8 GB RAM. Everything works well except my Wifi speed. It connects well, but the speed is .5 MBits/s whereas my newer Dell is connecting at 60 MBits/s. I suspect an outdated driver. I connected the laptop directly to the modem and it hums away at 60 MBit/s. Suggestions? Thoughts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It might be because of an outdated router or a less-than-ideal router location. You might be able to solve slow speeds with an easy fix, like upgrading to a mesh network (which also has to be set up in the right spot) or simply restarting your modem and router.

Check to see whether Smartbyte is installed and/or enabled. If so uninstall it and disable it in the Startup tab of Task Manager.
