Hello, I'm having issues with the wi-fi speeds of a brand new H270m-itx/ac. I just did a fresh install of Windows 10, updated the BIOS (v. 2.00) and set it to default settings and updated the WLAN drivers to the latest version (v. 18.40.4). The situation remained the same, with average speeds usually half of those of a MacBook Pro standing next to the antennas (as seen in the picture). Also tested with a fin antenna on the desk but nothing changed.  Is there anything else I should do for troubleshooting before returning the mobo?

Check that in the router's GUI you haven't mistakenly Disabled "WMM", Wireless Multi Media, or whatever your router refers to it as. |

It's enabled. I have had the same router and service provider in the last 5 years. Wireless speed has always been ~12Mbps in all the laptops/dektops around the house. Now I'm not even getting more than 4Mbps with the ASRock mobo. The computer is 2 meters away from the router.
