My friend recently had the full fibre eero system installed by Talk Talk. The promised speed is 150 Mbs but he rarely gets much more than 50 right next to the eero. I tested the connection with my tablet and got 150 over WiFi next to the eero, so the issue must be with his laptop. Could this be a WiFi 6 issue? The laptop dates from 2015. Windows says that the network card does not need new drivers.

If he can plug a cable in between router and laptop that will give the best speed indication.
It maybe that his laptop only has 2.3 GHz WiFi capability.

You cannot be serious.
With wifi and everything?
Nice, doesn't look like a laptop though... did it come with wifi from the factory? Must have cost a fortune. I remember replacing the CD-ROM drive on my packard bell AMD dx2-66 thing and it cost about £400 for a 2x!
I would suggest that the WiFi card in your friend's laptop is only capable of 54Mbps, but yours is capable of 150Mbps. If the friend's laptop has an RJ45 port, this will run at a minimum of 100Mbps, and could run at 1000Mbps (1Gbps). As others have suggested, in upgraded WiFi card *may* be available to increase the WiFi to 150 or 300 Mbps.
