doesn't work after one day | need help

So i got the a7000 yesterday, and fater installing the driver i was happy that i was working at around 200 mb/s dl and 80 upload. Sure i could be better, but i don't got the best internet. I had to disable the built in wireless adapters that my computer came with for the a7000 to work properly. All my other drivers are updated and I run windows 10 home x64 (also updated). So today, I come on my computer and see that my connection is constantly under or hovering around 50 mb/s. I tried everything i could think of. restall driver, disable previous drivers (uninstalling them just automatically reinstalls them), disable the auto tuning in command prompt, and restarting my router. I don't know what is wrong in my situation.

  • Pay attention to if you're connecting to 2.4ghz or 5ghz. 

    5ghz is much faster but doesn't broadcast as far or through as much materials. 

    2.4ghz is much slower but broadcasts further and through more.
