I'm experiencing a huge difference in internet speeds between my phone and PC. I turned off WiFi assist on my phone and tested both devices in the same spot in my house. My phone got a speed of 133 Mbps download and 117.4 Mbps upload, but my PC is maxing out at only 1 Mbps. My PC has an Intel WIFI 6E AX210 160MHz WiFi card. I noticed this issue just today, and I would really appreciate any tips on how to resolve it.

Since this started just today, did you install any new software or updates? Sometimes cleaning programs or driver rollbacks can cause these kinds of problems. It’s also worth considering if you did anything unusual today that could have affected the speed.
It's tough to pinpoint exactly what's wrong. There might be a driver issue, or it could be a problem with the antennas if they're loose or missing. Also, check if anything is physically blocking the connection between your PC and the router; it's unlikely that both devices were exactly in the same spot. That can make a difference too.
It sounds like there might be something off with your PC. A good first step is to forget the WiFi network on your PC and then reconnect. It might seem simple, but that fix can solve quite a few weird issues. If that doesn’t work, check your WiFi adapter settings; sometimes it can connect to a slower band or get stuck in a bad mode. Updating or reinstalling the driver can also help with sudden drop-offs like this. And don’t forget to check for any background programs that might be hogging your bandwidth!
