    This would probably get a better response in the Networking and Broadband forum, but yes, if you are using 802.11g on the laptop then that sort of speed would be normal, especially if you are not in the same room or there is a lot of other Wifi networks in the area on the same channel. 802.11n (or preferably 802.11ac but not sure if the Eir router supports that) would give faster speeds. Any recent laptop should be able to use 802.11n.
    If you are using Windows 10 you can click properties under the Wifi Network name and it will tell you which one you are using under protocol.
