Bluetooth is causing interference with your Wi-Fi on your laptop.

Bluetooth and WiFi share the same 2.4GHz frequency, causing interference. Since your ISP doesn’t offer a 5GHz band, consider using a different frequency or adjusting settings to reduce clashes.

You might purchase a device supporting 5GHz frequency and disable the 2.4GHz channel on both the modem and the access point.

Many factors affect 2.4GHz performance. I’m considering installing an access point to switch to 5GHz for better speeds. My connection varies—sometimes just 1Mbit, other times up to 35Mbit—but consistently I reach about 300Mbit on 5GHz (LAN testing).

A fresh router should handle the task effectively. 802.11ac focuses on 5GHz frequencies, which typically don't interfere much with Bluetooth performance. The summary provided is helpful.

802.11ac includes a 2.4GHz segment. Common speed numbers can be confusing since they combine both 2.5 and 5GHz bands.

802.11ac routers and many Access Points support a 2.4Ghz frequency, but only 802.11n is specifically designed for 5Ghz WiFi. This explains why 2.4Ghz still lags significantly even under ideal settings. It’s unclear why the technology didn’t enhance 2.4Ghz protocols further; likely to prevent older 802.11n devices from suffering performance drops due to interference, since 5Ghz offered fewer channels and shorter range issues.
