Meanwhile, how can I go about checking the wifi configuration to see what's limiting the wifi speed. ? I can google this question and see what's out there. Or if anyone on the forum has some advice for me on this it would be greatly appreciated. I can open a new question if you're not all tired of me ;-).
You probably should start a new thread, but in the interim here are a couple of possibilities:

- for whatever reason, you could currently be limited to accessing a 2.4 GHz network. Try to access the router and then set up a new 5GHz network with a unique SSID. Once that is in place, try accessing it and see if you get a speed boost.

- it also could be a DNS issue. Here's Google's info site on how to use its public DNS servers instead of those provided by your ISP:
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
