Wifi on this board has never worked properly.  Ethernet works fine, but wifi data crawls at a snail's pace.

So far I've updated the BIOS to the latest version and updated the drivers.

Yet he said "snails pace".

To me that infers butt slow. Even IMO, 150 is faster than that.

The built-in WiFi seems not very good.

My 8-year-old build has an ASUS WiFi card with 3 antenna jacks and an antenna array (3 poles on a base) connected via cable to the 3 jacks on the card.
speedtest.net says I get 300Mbps down and 12 Mbps up.

My new build with the X70 Taichi, with both supplied antennas connected gives me 5 Mbps both up and down.

Switched the antennas and my x370 Taichi increases to 18Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, better, but nothing  like the Asus downlink. Meanwhile the old computer with the Asus card and the two antennae from the Taichi is virtually unchanged.

I'm going to pop the Asus card into the new build and see what I get, but I fully expect to see a download jump to around 300 Mbps. I will report back with the results.

Followup:

Moved the WiFi card (ASUS PCE-AC68) from my old build to the Taichi, disabled the onboard wifi, ran the ASUS setup program, and now I get >200 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up.  So basically what I was getting on the old computer with the same card.

I didn't try updating drivers for the on-board. Maybe I'll do some experimenting if I find myself with time to kill.
