Hello I'm new to Linux and have set up mint 19 on my system.
Everything's great apart from the wifi signal - I'm getting about 10% of the speed of windows 7 on the same system. Upload speed seems to be the same, however.

Try this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel from the 4.18 series . Then reboot.
