I recently changed from a MSI X570 to the MSI X670E motherboard and am getting less than half my previous Wi-Fi throughput.

PC box is in the same place, and I tried rebooting the router, but am struggling to understand what could have caused this drop in speed.

Any ideas?

Which X570 motherboard model were you using, curious, both Tomahawks?

Is it connecting via 2.4 instead of 5ghz, or the other way around?
Check power settings isn't putting it into a low power mode.
Make sure latest drivers from Intel or whomever make it, do they have an app you can see details about it connecting?

I've jusst been through the frequency, and power mode setting.
The driver version installed is newer than that presented on the MSI website. Should I trust MSI know better then Windows and roll that back?

@Nelly I'll go through them one by one at lunchtime to double check.

I've just tested my iPad sat beside the PC, and it's getting >2.5 x faster data throughput.

I saw a comment on reddit, and I'm going to find the old aerials from the X570 and stick them in to see if that helps at all.
edit: just to state I tested the old aerials, it made no difference either.

I have this issue on a gigabyte x870e. My other pc which is an older intel based setup using z690 does 500dl and about 70 ul.

On my 870e I get 350 DL and 7ul. I will be following the thread for solutions.
 
Hopefully we'll find soemthing @GoRedwings19

For comparison, my approx data rates are:
iPad = 500 down, 100 up
x570 = 400 down, 100 up
x670 = 160-180 down, 100 up

I notice that my new PC box has the PSU located closer to the Wifi aerials than the old box.

edit: I was upside down.

I ran through the different channel options on the router (Virgin Hub 5), and now getting 275-300 Mbps.
A step in the right direction.

Hi

Question about the antennas, I notice it looks like they are fitted at the bottom with all the usb ports above, does anything connected to the usbs get in the way of the antenna or is it fine?

Was thinking about getting this board, well the b650, but might get the X670E if I see a good price.

Other than your issue is WiFi nice and stable.

Thanks

If you're any good at soldering/diy
Can even make your own antenna
I still have a home made biquad antenna somewhere
From back in the days when I had a neighbour from hell
That thing was about 16db
And picked up the whole streets wifi lol
I dont do naughty wifi stuff nowadays thankfully don't have
Any neighbours that would drive me into doing
That sort of stuff anymore

Obviously in an ideal world
You should just run ethernet to the pc
But it's not always practical to do it
