Why is my Wi-Fi signal strong with fast connection on my Mac Laptop, but very poor on my Windows Computer (which is about 1 foot away from my laptop), with very poor connection.

So I am very simple-minded when it comes to computers, so please explain in laymen's terms if need be.

Clarification:

The internet that I have is being used by many people (so it was my first speculation that this was the issue), but having all devices that used my Wi-Fi (other than my laptop) turned off completely, the same situation occurred: Slow and poor internet speed/ connection on the windows computer, and the opposite on my apple laptop. For specifics, both devices are on the same floor as the gateway router, and approximately 24 ft away from it, so I am quite certain that it isn't a location issue. I wasn't sure if this was the right place to ask, but if it is important, I have an Alienware Aurora R15 with some (possibly) relevant specifications:

• "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX210, 2x2, 802.11ax, MU-MIMO, Bluetooth(R ) wireless card"
• "13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9 13900F (24-Core, 68MB Cache, 2 .0GHz to 5.6GHz P-Core Thermal Velocity)"
• "32GB, 2x16GB, DDR5, 4800MHz"

Note that my drivers are up to date as of 2024-01-12. And also both devices (mac laptop and Windows PC) are not connected via ethernet.

Attempted Fixes:

I attempted looking for a fix, which according to an Independent Advisor on this site, has helped another person with a similar issue, due to a possible "problem with their power options." This fix involved going into "services" (services.mcs) and making sure the following was clicked to "automatic"

• WWAN Autoconfig
• WLAN Autoconfig

Note that WWAN was already running in automatic, and WLAN was not running and was on manual (these have been adjusted according to the other independent advisor). Unfortunately, this fix didn't work, and I was afraid of doing anything else, without some guidance.

Interesting Find (unsure what it means):

When trying to increase the number of white bars on the Wi-Fi meter using a closer signal (ie. my phones hotspot), the number of bars did ultimately increase to its maximum, but the connection speed was worse than the Wi-Fi. Also this may be interesting, but when looking on task manager, the connection type is "802.11ac," which is not 802.11ax, as my specifications demand.... maybe this is something?

Please note that the Wi-Fi is very fast on the laptop and very slow on this computer, even though they are in close range of each other -- I am at a loss, hopefully I laid a good bread-trail for you to follow.

EDITS MADE TO THIS POST::

Wasn't sure if this was pertinent, but I have also reset the router with the standard procedures to reset my Wi-Fi. though this is a very simple fix that of course did not work. Also I have seen some other posts that have referred to their "Wi-Fi adapters" being faulty, though I am unsure if this is the case with me. Note that this PC was obtained fairly recently, maybe 5 months ago -- it is also pre-built, if that means anything.
