Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G Slow WiFi Download Speed

deko

Hello guys, I have bought a new Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G a couple of days back and I have noticed very slow download speeds while on my other devices the speed is normal. I have tested it when I'm next to the router I have normal speed on my laptop but if I leave the room where it is the speed changes a lot. If I am one room away from 6MB/s my laptop will download at 3MB/s while on other devices is pretty much the same around 5,5MB/s, if I am two rooms away from 6MB/s my laptop is downloading at 300KB-400KB/s while on my other devices(phone, MacBook Air) is around 3MB/s. The laptop has Wi-Fi 6 which on paper can provide very fast speeds but even my 10year old Acer Aspire 5 has better download speeds. I have tried reinstalling the driver couple of times but nothing changes, I have tried changing settings in DeviceManager>NetworkAdapters>WIFI6 Properties>Advanced and changed a couple of things but it didn't help so I reinstalled the driver so all the options go back to default. Is there anything that I can do or change to fix this because it's very annoying? Thank you!  DRIVER NAME: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz

Yes. Uninstall, don't just disable, any  non Micro soft scanners that came bundled with the laptop. Microsoft Defender and Malicious Software Removal Tool are all most folks need these days. N or ton & M c Af  ee are the usual bimded cultprits

I don't have anything like that on my PC it came without software, I had to manually install it so it's free from bloatware. I have Windows 11.

Download, unzip and try installing this driver.

Only Solution is to switch your Mediatek Wifi adapter to 2.4Ghz mode .

I face same issue. reinstalling driver didn't solve the issue, i also had network drop quiet often.

So i went to device manager > right click the Wifi adapter > properties > Advanced > property of 802.11ac/ac/n > Value set to " 802.11n"

then under preferred Band > select prefer 2.4GHZ

Now i am getting same speed in this Acer Aspire laptop like my mobile and other devices.
