wireless adapter settings

wireless mode 802.11ax
channel width 2.4 & 5 GHz both auto, preferred band 5 GHz

how to get higher speed of wifi 6 connection from router to PC? (802.11ax=1200Mbps based on ASUS wrote about AX56U spec)
because I can get higher speed with wifi connection on my iphone (780 Mbps)
oh and by wifi connection I mean the wireless local, because I need the highest possible speed for data transfer between my devices wirelessly


thank you

Go back to default settings on the router and the PC. Use Dual Band SmartConnect and start with auto channel for both bands and 20-40-80-160 MHz on the 5 GHz band. Do not use DFS channels. See where you end up connecting after 10 to 20 minutes of WIFI connection. You may find setting the 5 GHz to channel 36 at 20-40-80-160 MHz gives a constant 160 MHz connection. RADAR interference may set you back to 80 MHz. A factory reset may be best with a manual config to start over.
 
I already did the factory reset and now changing the bands as u suggested but still cant reach the maximum speed.
what is DFS channel? where in the setting page I can find it?
the router placed beside my monitor and PC, really close to the receiver and my devices all in my table.
and also my router only can support 20-40-80 MHz, if I change to channel 36 my iphones cant detect the 5GHZ wifi.

what about the adapter setting configuration in windows 11?

Your PC connection appears to be so slow because it's only connecting at 20MHz. Check the "Channel Width for 5GHz".

Also look at the router's System Log - Wireless Log page.

I take it you're in China?
 
here is the wireless log page

On your WIndows PC remove the AX201 then add it back. Go to intel and download the latest drivers and install them. Do not change any of the WIndows AX201 settings!

This is a two-stream 802.11ax (WiFi6) router that does 80MHz in the 11a/n/ac/ax band...


I'm not sure what the issue is here...

the issue is im not being able to get highest speed while my PC (first line) connected to ax - 80mhz
while my iphone (2nd line) is connected to ac - 80mhz with 780-866 MBPS

but i figure out that if i disconnect the wifi on my pc and connect it again, at the beginning (1-2 seconds) it reach highest speed but suddenly dropped to 287 Mbps and stays there
this is the screenshot after 1 second connected to wifi

Check in the wifi card settings if the Fat Channel Intolerant is set to disabled.
Anyway this setting should be relative only to the 2.4 band...

For card settings see:

Download the ubuntu boot disk, boot it on your computer, and test the speed again.
You have errors in your windows install. There's a huge list of potential faults we could all go through over the next few weeks, the above will just prove it's not the router in the quickest way.
Replication at work.

Check the power saving settings for the card and PCI-E bus if it is an internal card.
