Good evening! Your question is clear and well-structured. You're experiencing a significant drop in wireless speed compared to your LAN connection, especially when using the MSI GE75 raider with Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i. It sounds like there might be an issue with signal quality, interference, or configuration settings on the wireless card. Let me know if you'd like help troubleshooting further!

Real-world results often surprise people. This one-band WiFi device is quite outdated. Despite the wide 2.4GHz band, speeds around 50Mbps are likely the maximum achievable on Wi-Fi.

Well Lan cabling connects the router to the device and avoids EMI mainly from high voltage lines. Interference isn’t a problem. WiFi operates on unlicensed frequencies, used by billions of devices. Frequencies like 2.4 GHz power microwaves, baby monitors, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, wireless keyboards, and mice all operate in this space. WiFi standards are developed in controlled environments without real-world noise. In practice, you rarely reach the advertised speeds. To boost performance, consider a new router with 5 GHz or higher, or opt for WiFi 5 or 6 routers now.

You're asking if every 2.4GHz device, no matter how recent, is limited to delivering only 100Mbps.

However, you're connecting via a WiFi 4 device, which isn't considered cutting-edge. WiFi 5 has been available for quite some time, and WiFi 6 is now dominating the scene. They're even discussing WiFi 7 in the future.

I achieve 120Mbit with 2.4GHz on WiFi 6, while on a good day I get about 1.2Gbit at 5GHz. The latency is significantly lower with the latter frequency too. To be honest, that router came out in 2015 and back then it was just a very budget option.
