I'm a bit out of touch with anything to do with networks and stuff these days so I could do with a little advice / help on my WiFi issue...
I have Gigabit internet with my local provider in NZ, hard wired I get pretty much full speed which is obviously fine. I've recently moved into a new house and aside from running a 20m cable down the stairs to the router, I am unable to neatly hard wire without starting to rip into walls and channel cables and frankly, I'm too old and can't really be bothered to do that, so, I have my Asus ROG Z790 motherboard which as a built in WiFi 6 module, and I had been trying to use that since I built the computer a couple of years ago and I never really got anything more than 25/30% of the speed I should be getting wireless(ly), though I always had a full WiFi signal as the router (an Orbi WiFi 6 router) was only about 6 metres away anyway, but I still suffered with slow speeds, which would be remedied if I plugged a cable in.
I put it down to it being just the cheap antenna that was provided by Asus in the motherboard box, so I upgraded to a new dedicated PCIx Gigabyte Aorus WiFi 7 receiver the other day with promised capability of up to 5800mbps bandwidth, surely plenty for my 950 down right? Negative sir!
What should I be checking to make sure i'm getting the fastest speed possible as surely with the equipment I have I should not have any bottlenecks?
Cheers guys
