Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz receives very weak wifi signal from router

Problem was noticed right when windows was first launched. Only 1 WiFi signal can be found with only 1 bar of strength. However, all my mobile devices and laptops can find all other WiFi in my house with full strength indicator from the same location. Are there any ways to fix this issue?

Hi I am having same problem. I just bought new Gigabyte  Aero 15 with Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz. I am two walls away from wifi router and althought wifi strength is shown full or four bars, internet is so slow it is unusable. 

In the same room in the same spot I get no wifi problems with iphone 11 and 5 year old macbook air.

I returned my laptop because of this. They sent me it back and said they changed component, I suppose this wi-fi card.
But it's same! I installed all the latest updates from GigaByte support page. In a room where every other smartphone and notebook doesn't have problem picking up Wi-Fi this ones connection is unusable. Some inherent problem with AX200, its antenna or what is going on there?

Probably you did not get helpful from Intel Moderator.  There were too much questions from Moderator to determine the root issue, but not the useful solution. I think the root issue is all about the hardware of Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz, not the software. Sound like I am going to return my pc to the shop.
