So you mean Internet speeds, not the speed of the device.
The Dell Inspiron 15 3576 is a low-end laptop. Therefore all of the factors that contribute to this are probably of lesser quality.
The things I know of that you can try are as follows:
-Disconnect other devices from your router and see if the speed changes on your laptop. If so, the router probably just can't handle it.
-Update the drivers on your wireless network card via support.dell.com .

• Upgrade your wireless network card (But that is probably not worth it on this laptop)
• Make sure it isn't the laptop itself slowing the Internet speeds down - Meaning too many other processes that just make the laptop work more slowly altogether.
• Check your network speeds on speedtest.net or something similar on your laptop and then your phones (Not at the same time).

- Use a static IP Address to make sure there are no conflicts between your laptop and phones (Although to me this is unlikely).
