It would help if you provided more information about your network and
computers:
1. Laptop make, model, and version, CPU make and model, RAM size,
HDD/SSD size, and Ethernet speed of Windows laptop.
2. Experimental laptop and key parameters (as above).
3. Internet modem or gateway.
4. Router and/or routing software.
5. Any other devices we should know about.
6. Distances between devices.
