INTERNET SPEED NOT SAME ON NEW ENVY 27

Question

Brand New Computer, set up , updated all drivers and software.  I run OOKLA speed tests and the new system barely hits 2 MB (connects at 5 MB for last year: rated for 6MB),  Upload Speed comes in at .38 (rated for .63 and ALWAYS hits it)
other than telling me my Speeds Suck (I live in a very Rural Area and thats all there is
So I don't like wasting anyones time, I've searched and tried everything possible including:
Updating Driver for Network Adapter
Checking HP site for any and All other updates
Updated All Software from Windows
What I have:
Intel System
Broadcom Adapter Broadcom BCM4352HMB 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter Driver Date 6/2014
Netgear Mod B-90 router
I have another laptop on wireless and its speeds are 5 MB and .63 everytime i test it
This new system is always showing 2+ d/l and .36 u/l
I've run these test many times.
Interesting to me is the New system HP K150 d/l graph on OOKLA is always a Roller Coaster vs the laptop gets to the 5MB and stays for the entire graph.  Didn't know if this helps evaluate this issue.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate those that Pitch in and Help on these Forums. I have done it too.
Thank You Jerry

Hello again @JERRYBSAYS,
WMM maintains the priority of audio, video and voice, over other applications which are less time critical. Using QoS ( Quality of Service ) Wi-Fi Multi-Media (WMM) ensures that the applications that require better throughput and performance, are inserted in queues with higher priority. (For example, video and audio applications are given higher priority over applications such as FTP or file downloading.)
In this way, in say streaming music, you are less likely to hear delays. Watching video, you are more likely to see smooth action. This delays other network traffic of a less critical nature - such as downloading large files - where a small  time delay is acceptable.
WMM has the following four queues, decreasing on order of priority:
Voice.The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications such as voice over IP(VoIP) and streaming media.
Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue.
Best Effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP applications use this queue.
Background. Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that are not time-sensitive,  but require high throughput,can use this queue.
The only draw back I can see to disabling it is that everything will have the same priority so streaming is not going to be as good as it will share equally the bandwidth with other internet activities such as updates and or downloads. You could always turn it back on if you notice that it is causing problems so will not hurt you to try it.
In the professional and above versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 this feature is available for more fine tuning using the gpupdate. Unfortunately, it is not available outside of those version or you could have adjusted the amount (%) that is set aside for the various queues.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
