I recently installed a 100 mbps fiber connection and it functions perfectly across all devices. The exception is my two laptops running Windows, both using the same Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174A Wi-Fi card. On Pop-OS, I consistently achieve 110-120 Mbps during downloads or speed tests. In Windows, however, both laptops only manage around 25 Mbps. I've tried several fixes: resetting network settings, changing wireless modes, performing a clean boot, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, but nothing resolved the issue. Also, file transfers are extremely slow, often around 16-17 Mbps. Both laptops use 5 GHz and support AC Wi-Fi, which provides ample bandwidth.

Do you prefer mode 12 (a/b/g/n/ac)? Is the Dynamic MIMO Power Saving feature turned off? Are you conducting tests while charging or on standby? What is the reported link speed according to Windows? You can find this information in the corresponding network adapter within the old control panel or by checking network settings in the app.
