Broadband Speed
I use an Acer Swift 1 laptop, it's about six years old now, and just recently it seems to be very slow. i did a U Switch broadband speed test earlier and the speed it reported was, download speed 10 Mb/s, and upload speed 9 Mb/s.
I did this test about two metres from the router, and I was the only person in the house. So, is the slow speed I'm getting due to the age of my laptop, or do I need a new router, or could there be another answer? Thank you.

I'm still using an old ADSL connection, with exactly that speed, and I know nothing would seem any faster on my laptop with a download speed 100 times or more faster than I've got now.

Unlikely to do with the age of your laptop.
I had trouble like yours until going to fibre to the cabinet which is sold has 80/20 maximum, I get more like 65/15 which Is fine for our needs. On the old setup Openreach would always say it was our internal wiring causing faults, strange how the internal wiring mended itself once we had the fibre setup
