High speed WiFi (250-300mpbs) but drops to 1-2 mbps after 5-10 minutes - eviltoast

Situation is, I have ATT fiber and the router is forced to be downstairs while I’m on the second floor.

I tested my moms laptop downstairs and her speed is great. However my iphone with me upstairs is also pretty solid routinely getting 100+ mbps.

What is causing such a drastic drop in speed?

I have this PC and hardware:

10/100/1000 Network

  • 2.5GbE LAN
  • WiFi 6E 802.11ax

My meantime solution is I have one of those ethernet adapters, which smooths out my mbps to about 40-50.

but I would much rather have 200-250 or at least 100 mbps like my iphone.

What could be causing the drastic loss of speed?

Would something like the amazon aero help?

    Fakespot analyzes the reviews authenticity and not the product quality using AI. We look for real reviews that mention product issues such as counterfeits, defects, and bad return policies that fake reviews try to hide from consumers.

    We give an A-F letter for trustworthiness of reviews. A = very trustworthy reviews, F = highly untrustworthy reviews. We also provide seller ratings to warn you if the seller can be trusted or not.
