I am getting about 400 Mbps 5G speed on my phone, but when I connect my laptop (Win10) to it, I get only 60 Mbps and often slower. I have tried almost every fix that I've come across during my month long search for a solution, but nothing has worked so far. I've updated my laptop drivers, changed all the network settings to 5ghz both on phone and laptop, removed wireless mouse, turned of unnecessary services on laptop, did extensive virus and malware scan, but nothing seems to bring the internet speed on the laptop to even close to what I get on my phone.

Has anyone else experienced this and ultimately solved the issue? Please help me out!
 
So the card does support 2x2 MIMO WiFi5. Is the laptop connected to power while testing this? Some laptops throttle the speed when on battery.

A quick Google says doing below might resolve this:
My problem was solved by Disabling the SmartByte Network Service from System Configuration ->Services tab and restarting.

I'd be guessing you are using Jio for 5G, which is IPV6 only. There are some cellular devices out there that cannot do NAT fast enough.
While this was not obvious in 4G, a lot of devices needs some catching up.

You can try keeping your laptop in IPV6 only mode and using DNS64 is you want to access any IPV4 websites.
