I am getting slow internet speed on my Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop. There is a dedicated wifi/Bluetooth button. When this button is turned off, it starts to blink also.

Update:
I found that the systemd-networkd-wait-online service has failed to start. I tried to restart the service but not starting. Is this the reason for my slow internet??
sudo systemctl status systemd-networkd-wait-online.service:
