probably not worth the hassle of troubleshooting, that would be easier with 3 machines so that you could try to isolate which might be the slow one.
how is the LAN set up, are you using wifi on both, no cabling to check? or a switch
you can look at network adaptor properties, maybe set them to default values and/or ask windows to check for updates or try rollbacks to previous versions
Alternatively a desktop network Gbit card is very cheap, and probably you can get a fast USB laptop network dongle there are no card slots. and returnable if you use amazon and they don't improve things. that way you bypass doing the frustrating troubleshooting. i am not sure what the options would be for a tablet, except to try alternative apps. is it windows or android ? MS have depreciated support for SMB v1 which a lot of android apps still use

Both the laptop and tablet have Windows 10 and had the same when I bought them. I've tinkered with various network adapter properties and checked the drivers, no change.
Wifi on both, yes.
