Wifi has been very slow since Windows update last month, but is fine on other devices in home

[ArthurTwoSheds9]

Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion from 2013 and have never had any wifi problems before, but for the last few weeks it has been very slow and sometimes drops altogether. I am sat very close to my wifi router and have other devices in the house which are connected to same router and are fine. I have tried installing an old wifi driver as I know this can sometimes mess up but it hasn't had any impact. I have revered back to the current one which I will name below. I have also tried turning off and on my router to see if that helps but it hasn't.

Wifi driver: Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter

System Model HP Pavilion TS 14 Notebook PC

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Happy to give more information, hope this helps.

Thanks
