My Windows laptop gets around 275MBps on wifi whereas the Rpi 3+ get's about 70MBps. Is this what I can expect for Wifi speeds. The PI is in the same room as the router and I am connected through 5G. No walls in between. I have line of site to the router. Would disabling BT help as I have a BT dongle. In the past, the BT adapter had issues with the PI and kernel based on the lsusb number but that was awhile back. papa's scooperia

The WiFi speeds you're experiencing on the Raspberry Pi 3+ are typical, as it generally has lower performance compared to a laptop due to hardware limitations. Disabling Bluetooth may help improve WiFi speeds, especially if your BT dongle is causing interference. You might also want to check for any updates or configurations that could optimize your WiFi performance.
