Hey, I have 100/100  Mbps fiber optic  service on  my phone and iPad but I can't get any faster than 40 Mbps on my laptop.  I reset the software and got rid of most apps, checked for all updates, and keep tearing my hair out.  Is this as g, even with ethernet.  Is this as good as it gets?

Your machine is very old. Its specs

 

              https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c03737010

 

It ONLY has 

  • WLAN: 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 connector)
  • Wifi:  1x1 802.11b/g/n WLAN 

BOTH of them are slow. It is more than 12 years old now therefore upgrading internal wifi adapter to newer adapter is NOT supported. The following adapter (or similar) may help
