I bought a new laptop that works perfectly fine with my home wifi, but when I use it at the office, it takes forever to load anything. Other devices connect without any issues. I've tried several fixes like flushing DNS, updating drivers, forgetting the network, resetting my network settings, and restarting my laptop multiple times, but nothing seems to help. I'm really frustrated and could use some advice!

There's a chance your wifi card could be failing. Have you noticed if it works fine when you're really close to the router? Sometimes issues with the internal antennas can crop up if repairs were done, but since your laptop is new, that seems unlikely. Still, the difference in distance from the router at home versus the office could be revealing an underlying issue. It might be worth checking if you can get closer to the access point and see if the connection improves.
It sounds like the problem isn't with your laptop itself. It might be related to the office network, like weak signal strength or possibly some filtering or analysis going on with the traffic from your laptop's MAC address. If there was a broader network issue, it would probably affect all your devices, not just yours.
