Wireless networking issues, 'Netsh wlan show wlanreport' showing 'no events'

I have a computer (Win10) that moves around an office environment that has several wireless access points. The computer is using a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A network adapter and is having issues with networking where it takes an excessively long time for files to transfer locally. The wireless adapter is using DHCP but has IP address reservation configured, so its IP shouldn't be changing. 

 

I tried running 'netsh wlan show wlanreport' but the report shows 'no events'. This is counterintuitive since the PC only has network access via its wireless network connection. The PC does have several wired network connections but they are for communication with other devices. Only the wireless network connection supports internet access and is the means by which file transfers across the network are taking place.


I am trying to review logs to figure out if the issue is the PC or the IT infrastructure is at fault.  

  • Is there a specific process, service, adapter setting, or configuration needed for this report (Netsh wlan show wlanreport') to populate? 
  • Are there Windows event logs that might help shed light on this issue?
  • Any way to log/monitor wireless network speeds of a wireless adapter?
  • Any way to see/tell if/when the PC's IP address has changed?
  • Any way to tell if/when the network adapter switches to a different WAP?
  • I've just enabled logging of Windows Event Viewer / Applications and Services Logs / Microsoft / Windows / Dhcp-Client / Microsoft-Windows-DHCP Client Events/Operational. So maybe I'll see something there after a few days.  
  • Any suggestions?

Thanks.
