Can Old Hardware wi-fi slow down?

I have a problem with the Wi-Fi on my old PC. Namely I have only about 200. KB / s and if I'm in the same room on the laptop, I have about 1-2MB / s and on the Xbox 30-100MB / s. Do I just need a new wireless adapter or what can it be?

Error in the conversion.

KB / s and KBit / s are not the same, as MB / s and MBit / s are not the same!

Example: 6 MBit / s is 750 KB / s

lo

You have at the xbox certainly not 100MB / s. That would be almost gigabit wlan.

But of course, if your wireless receiver is bad at the pc, the practical bandwidth may shrink.

That does not help me. I want to know why it is slower in the same room on the PC than on the laptop / Xbox and how to fix it.

Have a WLAN stick from 2011 so at least the driver is from 2011. Shall I just get a new one?

Sh

If it is really slow, a new stick with current WLan standard or better antenna helps. The really good Wi-Fi sticks have an external antenna which can be used e.g. Can put on the desk.

This is usually a reading error.

Is one enough for 15 euro or something? Can you recommend a cheap so so about 15 euro?
