wifi 6 ax200 slow signal rate on games

Hello.

 

So I bought a new gaming laptop (AORUS 15P (Intel 11th Gen)) to play some games on, I mainly play Valorant and Roblox. When I'm playing a game like Valorant I keep getting packet loss and game sometimes loose connection during a round. I also play Roblox a lot but I can't really play the game because my connection on Roblox is very bad and my connection is very unstable. On my old laptop my connection is just fine but my new one I get around 200 ms (which is good) but it always jumps to 500-800 ms making the game freeze a lot. I also went into my internet website thingy to check the wifi speed, I got like 390mbps which is very low in a wifi 6 card.

After doing some research I think my router is the problem, like I said before I had an old laptop which mostly likely it had wifi 5 installed. My router isn't that good, the max speed it can get is 80 Mhz and my wifi 6 top is 160 Mhz. This may be the case but I am still confused on why I am getting 390 mbps on wifi 6, shouldnt I be reaching max speed for wifi 5?

Hello Rev,  

  


Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I understand you are having issues with your Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+)



In order to better assist you, please provide the following:  


1. Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) to gather more details about the system.  

2. Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed on your computer or did you change/install the adapter to this one?   

3. What is the brand and model name of your router?

4. Do you experience this issue any while gaming or also with other apps? If so, which apps?

5. Have you checked this behavior with Gigabyte?

I tried doing this method awhile ago and it makes my connection speed worse. i just try playing on my old device today and checked the wifi status on windows and the wifi speed is 866.7 mbps which is the same on the device im having issues on. The only difference is the bytes on my wifi 6 device is extremely low to my old one, the wifi 6 device is getting 6 digit values and the old one is getting 7 digits which is way higher.

Hello Rev, 



In order to continue with the investigation, can you try/provide the following:



1. For how long have you been getting this issue since you got the computer?

2. Have you tested a different network?

3. Can you try a clean installation and use GIGABYTE driver 22.80.0.9 as a test? This is to confirm if the same issue happens?

4. Is this issue on certain games or all the games you play? Can you provide a list?

5. Can you check with your IPS for firmware for your router/modem? 

6. have you checked the cables of your router are in good status?

7. Try Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity

Hello Rev, 



Thanks for the update. I understand that you were able to solve the problem by using a USB adapter and I am glad to know that the speed improved with the adapter.


Also, I recommend you to check with gigabyte for further steps and to confirm any limitation or restriction placed on your device.
