    Hi everyone!

    On my old laptop with Killer card I have 250+ Mbps download speeds on my wifi network (which is 300Mbps).

    On my new Aorus 17G, it stays under 50-60 Mbps no matter which settings I've tried in the card drivers (tried ax, ac, also updated drivers to 22.70 and rolled them back to 22.40 - with no visible effect).
    Can someone help please?

    I've read threads about changing your WiFi channel width to 80 mhz, updating your router firmware, and other things that you've tried. It seems to be a big issue with the Intel WiFi 6 AX200, a lot of people have issues with proper speeds on it. Some people have reported higher speeds with it using 2.4ghz over 5ghz, which is wild. It might just be a really picky adapter, but you've already done several of the things I can find with a quick search!

    Yeah.. Funnily enough, in my card's settings it shows only 20Mhz or Auto options for channel... (even though in the router I can select 20/40/80).
    Maybe trying older drivers, but not sure which ones...
    I have not tried 2.4, lets see... - half the speed on 2.4. Did not help... Hmm..

    Does anyone know how to roll back drivers to the version before (found that it might help), if the "roll back" button already grayed out? I've downloaded a version which allegedly helped someone else, but it won't let me install it as it is back from 2018

    Can't you uninstall the device, load the driver somewhere, and have it install the driver from the location you loaded the driver? I seem to remember having to run add new hardware so it scans for uninstalled devices... But that could be the old way to do it.
