If your Windows laptop is experiencing slow WiFi, it might be stuck on the 2.4 GHz Band. You can check to see which band your client is using by clicking on Clients -> WiFi Clients from the sidebar. If it shows 2.4 GHz as the Band, then it likely means that the driver isn’t automatically band-steering to 5 GHz.
To fix this issue, go to Device Manager on your laptop and locate your WiFi device under Network Devices. In the Advanced tab, set Preferred Band to 5 Band. This will allow automatic band-steering to 5 GHz and ensure a faster WiFi experience.
