It’ll cost you a little extra cash, and I absolutely hate having to buy hardware to replace that which should already be working just fine in a laptop, but it’s an option. Though they can be fussy, a third-party Wi-Fi dongle that supports at least AC1200 might be the best option. If you still can’t get great wireless speeds from your gaming laptop, you might have (or want) to bypass your network card entirely.

Go hit up your laptop’s manufacturer and your Wi-Fi card’s manufacturer and look it’s possible that updating (or even reinstalling) your network card’s drivers might give you the speeds you seek. In that case, my next inclination would be to check to make sure there aren’t any updated drivers for your laptop’s wireless card.
You might want to try splitting the two in your router settings: Something like “_2GHz” and “_5GHz,” for example.įor the sake of argument, I’m going to assume that you’ve done all these things and you’re still getting much faster speeds on your smartphones than your decently specced gaming laptop. Also, I should mention one thing: If you’re the kind of person who has your router use one SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and allows your devices to connect to whatever they choose to connect to, it’s possible that your gaming laptop is stupidly connecting to your slower 2.4GHz wireless network instead of your speedier 5GHz wireless network.
