You recently upgraded to FTTP with a 900Mbps connection but confirmed a 450Mbps downlink. Since you're using Wi-Fi, you're connected through an Asus RT-AC5300 router. You're experiencing speeds between 370 to 400 Mbps on your iPhone while your PC is limited to around 100 Mbps on the same 5GHz channel. Both devices are on the same Wi-Fi channel, but interference isn't visible. The router shows a 300Mbps link with your PC, yet you're still struggling. You've tried updating drivers, clearing the Wi-Fi, and even moving the antenna slightly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The maximum speed reaches 433Mbps and it operates as a single-device unit. Consider upgrading for better performance, such as Intel AX210, though reaching gigabit speeds over WiFi may not always be feasible.
You didn't understand my message, it can't reach 100Mbps at the moment. I'm okay with 433Mbps, just not 34Mbps right now. Check the screenshots—I showed you 34Mbps.
The question asks about the 5GHz radio settings on a wireless router, but no specific model or details were provided. You should check the router’s manual or settings menu to find the correct configuration options.
it's not the router; other gadgets on my network handle speeds of at least 300Mbps (like laptops, Xbox, phones, iPad), so it makes no sense to say this is normal when they only get about 12% of that speed nearby.
Check if all your other gadgets are using the Intel AC-3168 and seeing improved performance. I didn’t mention the router in my original question. Also, let me know the distance between your PC and the wireless access point. Have you updated the latest Intel drivers?
Check if the device connects via built-in Wi-Fi or requires a separate card. Usually, budget models have weak Wi-Fi signals, which is normal. With four out of five bars, the connection strength is already diminishing, so there’s nothing unusual here.
I've noticed situations where my phone outperforms my PC in the same area. To improve things, I increased the channel width on 5GHz from 80MHz to 160MHz. That's just how unpredictable WiFi can be. Switching from an AX200 to an AX210 adapter boosted my speed by 100Mbit. Since the 3168 is a budget card, upgrading it to a premium AX210 would significantly enhance performance.
