HP Laptop 14-bw00x

I have recently moved to 5g wireless home broadband.  On the same network I have my mobile phone (when home) and another laptop.  They both achieve a download speed of around 250Mbps and an upload of around 45Mbps.  This computer however achieves only around 50Mbps download and 45Mbps upload.  I have the latest drivers, and a check shows that the wireless signal is at 99%.  I have seen speeds in excess of 100Mbps when I was using a 4G connection.

Hi,

Can you provide the exact model or product number

Model number

I see in that series there were a variety of WLAN modules the PC could have come with

Is it possible that the notebook is connecting to the 2.4 GHz channel?

Let me know,

David

The adaptor fitted is the Intel Dual band wireless AC 3168.  How do I see whether it is using 2.4GHz band?

And thanks for the prompt response.

And further, I have checked and it is definitely connected to 5GHz.
