Why does the home PC and laptop get slower internet connectivity than the work laptop which is connected to the same router?

This could be for a couple of different reasons. Firstly it could be due to Firewall and Port settings which could be playing a part in the internet speed. Secondly, and probably more likely, your work laptop has a better network adaptor. New routers and new devices also support double frequency transmission of Wi-Fi signals (e.g. Samsung S4 and S5 along with other new devices) and this could be the case for you where your work laptop includes this new technology.

It depends: Is the router yours, or do you have permission to use it?

However, if the router is not yours, or you do not have permission to use it, then you cannot connect to it, and thus the Internet. If in doubt, talk to whoever owns the router, or a local computer shop.

Adding detail to my question... I have a laptop that has full wifi, and another with no wifi, and it cannot use an adapter... Is there any way I can connect wirelessly to a spare router I have, as well as my internet enabled router (I have a USB WiFi adapter I could use to make 2 connections), and then connect the laptop with no wifi to the spare router via ethernet to get internet?
