I wanted to provide and update on this. I did a clean install of windows and everything works as it should. DL speed of 500Mb and wifi6 is working properly.

It did in the past with no issues.

I appreciate the replies and ill try to answer. Yes, the used to have the AC7260, but as I stated, of has an AX200 card which supports even wifi6. I use the laptop daily and runs perfectly with absolutely zero issues other than this, so I'm doubtful that the speed internet is hurting the cpu at all. I did think their might be some kind of interference and disabled the 2.4 band on my router, but it didn't help. Im in a single family home with no direct neighbors, but i have checked for overlap on the channels. However, all of my other devices get blazing wifi speeds anywhere in the house. With the problem existing on both wifi and ethernet, it has to be hardware or software related on the laptop itself. I even went so far as to buy what is arguably the best router on the market today, and paired it with what can be considered to be one of the best wireless cards to match. The only thing I use this laptop for is media acquisition that stores directly on my NAS, so their isn't any loads on it. I occasionally do stram AAA games through steam to it with no issues at all. Now, with regards to radio transponders, aren't they on the wireless card, or am I missing something?

I could really use some help here. Here is my issue. I have an ISP DL speed of 500Mbps and upload of 20Mbps. However my laptop is like its capped at 60Mbps down.. Everything in my house works beautifully except a single laptop. A dell Inspiron 7737 with core i5. In trying to fix the issue I even went so far as to put a new wireless card in it and upgraded to the Intel AX200. Still exactly the same. So, I went ahead and upgraded my router and went with a Nighthawk AX12. I have updated BIOS, updated all drivers, made sure its in AX mode, Uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless card 10 times. Made sure I don't have Bitdefender installed. Still the same. There has to be SOMETHING I'm not seeing!! I would love to hear some ideas on where I'm going wrong! If I'm 100 feet away from the router, its 60Mbps just the same as when I'm 5 feet away from it. Even my ethernet is not going over 60Mbps.
