Your Wi-Fi speed is limited to 54MBPS, while your Ethernet connection from the same router reaches 200MBPS. The wireless settings show a 802.11a protocol with WPA2 security, but the device speeds vary. Only your phone appears to be using the full 200MBPS. Check for interference, update drivers, or consider changing the network settings if possible.

802.11a supports a maximum of 54mbps. For faster connections, consider 802.11n, ac, or ax.

We use an 802.11a router. It’s quite outdated and offers only 54Mbps speeds. Did you verify the 54Mbps rate using a speed test?

802.11a offers restricted bandwidth; consider switching to a more efficient standard if feasible. Alternatively, opt for Ethernet whenever possible—it delivers superior performance compared to any wireless solution.

You can modify the protocol through system settings or command-line tools. Check your interface options and run necessary commands in CMD if required.

I rely on the ASUS ROG Flow X16 for deeper insight.

I checked the settings in Device Manager. Navigate to Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Choose your Wifi Module Name -> Properties -> Click 802.11" option and pick 802.11ax. Leave the previous Wi-Fi you were using, then restart the device (laptop or PC). Reconnect to the new Wi-Fi (remember the password) and run a speed test. My connection was on 802.11a before, now it's 802.11ac with a limit of 866MBPS. Appreciate the assistance!
