wi fi on pc

I was doing a speedtest on my Win 11  pc.  Download on ethernet is 140 mbit/s which is near my paid for speed

On wifi on pc I cannot get above 30 mbs ,checked wifi network card  it says it is 802.11n ,but it is on 2.4 ghz on router . In properties for card it says current driver is best available,I am unable to switch to 5ghz band .I can use an android phone right next to pc and get speeds of 100+mbits

    Your PC's WiFi network card is 802.11n, which is a relatively old technology (compared to newer standards like 802.11ac or 802.11ax).

      Bondlico  Pc is less than a year old ,not happy if old technology used,have since discovered even though 802.11n should be 5ghz compatible if hardware says 802.11 n /b/g then its only 2.4 ghz enabled
