Hello JFEAR1
Thank you for posting in the Intel Community.
Allow me to investigate about the issue in meantime provide me with the following information:
• Is the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 the adapter that came pre-installed on the system?
• Have you tried to complete a clean installation of the wireless driver? See the steps bellow.
• Try the Advanced Intel® Wireless Adapter Settings for the system's environment (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005585/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html) or the Recommended Settings for 802.11n Connectivity (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005544/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html).
• Please attach to this thread the TXT file the Intel® System Support Utility will generate: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility
• Steps to save the report:
1- Run the utility.
2- Click on “Scan” to get the scanned system.
3- Once the scan is complete click on “next”.
4- Use the “save” option, save the report to your desktop.
5- To attach a file, you must click the “Attach” option on the bottom left-hand corner of the response box.

Hello JFEAR1
Thank you for the information.
Allow me to confirm the following:
• Does the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 came pre-installed on the system or did you integrate the Intel® wireless adapter?
• Does the behavior of low speed happen on a different network?
• What is the current wireless driver version that you have installed on the system?
• Have you installed the driver provided by the DELL™ on the system? Reference link for DELL™ drivers: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/xps-13-9365-2-in-1-laptop/drivers.
• Have you tested the Intel® drivers for the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 on the system? Reference link for Intel® drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/94150/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-8265.

I have been out of town using different connections.....I had a big bios update come in as well as a wireless update. The speed on my phone and my computer are matching so the problems seems to be solved.
The key will be seeing where it is when I get back to my office.
But the computer is working correct now you can close this case.
