I just got this laptop and everything was perfect EXCEPT for the wifi speed. My average ping on different games ranged from 200-2000ms. I've tried various things like reinstalling the wifi driver, updating it, tweaking the 802.11 value, changing my preferred band, and changing the DNS server. I'm not sure if it's the wifi card since i've only heard bad things about it, but I can only hope I can find a solution other than changing the wifi card. (SO SORRY ABOUT THE SYSTEM NAME HAHA)
Model ID thing: NHQN8AA002XXXXXXXXXXXX
Here's the specs:

    Where did you get the bios version 1.26 from for the Nitro model ANV15-51 from? As there is no such bios version released from Acer, as the bios version 1.25 "Supports new WLAN card and touchpad" fixes so install the last bios version 1.31 as that also has an "EC chip update " that all these bios updates will benefit the WLAN card function.

    But be aware that for best internet and WLAN signals, they are dependant on your internet equipment and the router that you are using. Remember that your Nitro ANV15-51 Acer fitted WLAN card is a Wi-Fi 6 card and its NOT the better Wi-Fi 6E or the newest Wi-Fi 7 card.

    Also, the Mediatek MT7921LE model card that you have is not as well supported with new drivers as the Intel AX203 NGWG card, so change it to the Intel card as the problem could be driver support.

    These are the two suitable cards listed by Acer for your Nitro AN15-51 laptop.
