I am trying to get a better speed on my laptop HP 250 15.6 inch G9 notebook. I searched on the internet and apparently my wifi card should allow me to connect to 802.11ac wifi type, or the 5 ghz wifi band. I tried downloading the latest drivers from somewhere and it suddenly did change my wifi band to 5 ghz and my speed improved drastically. But after some time, it reverted to back  4 ghz. I am so annoyed by this. Kindly help!

I have the same problem. I have ax3000 router and my other devices always get 200mbps+ speed, however my laptop only getting around 100mbps. After checking and installing the latest drivers, i still have the same issue. Looking at the community I found that other people have ac setting on their device manager, however my laptop does not.
