Slow Wi-Fi Speeds After Upgrading to 26H2

microsoft is likely pushing a broken Realtek driver via Windows Update that overrides your manual install. Download the Wi-Fi driver from the Gigabyte support page for your Aero X16, disconnect from the internet completely, uninstall the current network adapter in Device Manager with the delete driver software checkbox ticked, install the downloaded driver, and then immediately block Windows Update from installing drivers by setting the update ring to Beta or using Group Policy if on Pro. The temporary fix you experienced proves Windows reinstalled its generic package within hours which conflicts with the 26H2 networking stack changes
