Internet noticeably slower on one computer while faster on another connected to the same router
I have a 120Mb/s Internet connection and it works well on my laptop with 1Gb/s network card and Windows 7. But it works too slow on another computer which is older and which have 100Mb/s network card and also Windows 7. Both computers are connected via wired Ethernet.
I realize that I won’t get the full 120Mb/s on a 100Mb/s network card, but as far as I know it should work with speed about 90Mb/s, but it is only getting about 35 Mb/s.
I am using Ubee EVW3226 modem/router device and I have updated network card drivers on the systems in question.

Few things to try (test your speed after each step to see if the problem persists):
- Connect the computer to the router using a different ethernet cable.
- If you have a switch in between the computer and the router, try connecting the computer directly to the router.
Check link speed/duplex:
- Press Win + R to open the Run menu, and type
devmgmt.mscto open Device Manager - Expand Network adapters and double-click the appropriate adapter
- Navigate to the Advanced tab
- Select Link Speed & Duplex from the Property list and make sure its value is set to Auto Negotiation.
- Press Win + R to open the Run menu, and type
Reset the TCP/IP stack1:
- Click Start, search for
cmd
- Right-click cmd.exe and click Run as administrator
- Type
netsh int ip reset c:resetlog.txtand hit Enter - Reboot the computer.
- Click Start, search for
1You can also use the Fix it wizard from the following link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/299357
A corruct TCP/IP stack can cause several issues with the network connection. Resetting the TCP/IP stack will overwrite the following registry keys:
SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters
SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDHCPParameters
This has the same effect as removing and reinstalling TCP/IP (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/299357).
If none of the above solves the problem, your network adapter may be bad, or you could have some sort of malware which is hogging the bandwidth.

This would be better if you explain a little (doesn't have to be an essay) about what resetting the TCP/IP stack does. Generally speaking, don't encourage people to do things blindly, especially when the implications are non-obvious (I've been using IBM compatibles since the late 1980s, and I don't know what resetting the TCP/IP stack on Windows will do); explain why you believe that particular step is relevant to solving the problem described by the OP, and say something about what the potential pitfalls might be.

Some ethernet adapters have trouble actually moving data as fast as they claim to - though this was more of a problem with 1 Gbit adapters (lighting the Gb light, but not being able to fill the link) than 100 Mbit adapters, as far as I recall.
