I've tested the connection with a macbook pro and now the speed is about 800-900 mbits/sec.
Much better as the windows machine.
Your windows screenshot looks exactly like my machine, so yeah it seems my wifi card is the problem? Is there by any chance the possibilty to active the 160mhz channel on the access point?
Best regards.

well, I'm more behind concurrent channel usage.
- NomsurJan 06, 2023AspirantSorry i dont understand what do you mean with that sentence?

Other visible or (WiFi invsible) 5 GHz clients active on the same channel set is what I guess.
- NomsurJan 06, 2023AspirantI've tested different 5GHz Channels and the speed stays the same.
The macbook works well on every channel. So i think it is what you've wrote earlier.
My windows laptop wifi card isnt using 4x4 80mhz so this maybe the speed problem.
I think i've either need a new network card for this machine or a access point with 160mhz channels. - schumakuJan 06, 2023Guru - Experienced User
There are none (or not many) 4x4 capable adapters. The named Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200/AX210 is 160MHz, and 2x2 only.
