Wifi on Windows 4 TIMES SLOWER than on Linux!

[SkyFire69]

i got a 100 mbps fiber connection recently

It works flawlessly on every device except my 2 laptops while using windows with the same Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174A wifi card.

I have a pop os(ubuntu distro) dual boot on one of those laptops and on pop os i easily get 110-120 mbps up and down while downloading something / using speedtest

However on windows on both laptops i am only able to get around 25 Mbps or so. I have tried

1) Reseting everything network related on both laptops (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/internet-download-speed-is-slow-on-only-one-device/65528449-efc9-4582-8d70-4220b43e0a6c)
2) Changing the wireless mode on both laptops (https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/comment/550011)

3) Perform a clean boot on both laptops (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows)
4) Uninstalling, disbaling, enabling updating the wifi card drivers on both laptops
However nothing has worked
NOTE:-
1) I am using 5 GHz on both laptops and on ubuntu and windows
2) Both the laptop and router support AC Wifi so have a lot of extra bandwidth to work with

ALSO: The local file transfer speeds are abysmal like i am getting 16-17 mbps on doing that

Wouldn't be surprised if its windows doing something in the background. Only reason I still even use windows over Linux at this point is because of stability and support for games. If I moved over to Linux I would have a lot more problems with some of my games, especially older ones or indie games who don't have the resources to expand to the smaller Linux base.

A quick Google search showed others with the opposite experience, so I guess you're lucky-ish.

 

When logged into Windows, go to Windows Update to see if anything is being actively installed. Also, try disabling peer-to-peer updates while there.

 

Also, launch Task Manager and observe the Performance tab to see if there's NIC traffic and if there's any process that's consuming CPU resources.
