My motherboard is an aorus elite b850m wifi6e.

Uses the old RTL8852CE from Realtek. Not a horrible card but realtek isn't known for their driver updates. Options.
- Try updating the firmware on the realtek. Directly from realtek. Don't install the ones from gigabit. It "should" be faster than the A7000 by a ways. But that also depends on your router. If the router is the bottleneck, it isn't going to make much difference.What router do you have?
- You also have to keep in mind, the realtek is triband. If you're a bit aways from the router, the 6ghz will drop off quicker in speed. How far from the router and whats in between the router-pc? (walls, what materials, appliances, etc)
- You can replace that wifi card pretty easily and cheaply (probably cheaper than the A7000). The intel AX210 is usually around that 15-20$ if you want to upgrade.
