I have done a few speed tests and it is difficult to get that speed.

I've seen many Windows laptops only achieve 100-200Mbps, whereas a Mac or Linux laptop gets the full speed on the same connection.

It may be possible to tune Windows with the right drivers, but the point to remember is that it may be that your computer that's the bottleneck, not the link.

Nothing to do with the Operating System, all to do with the hardware and wifi technology used. On my FTTP connection (330 Meg), I'm seeing wifi speed tests of ~ 310 Mbps on my Thinkpad X1 Gen 5 notebook running Win 10, same on both of our iPhone X's, same on a Win 10 desktop PC with an Asus PCE-AC88 wifi card. Getting around 120 Mbps on my old Thinkpad X220 notebook (again Win 10) but this is only 802.11n whilst others are all 802.11ac. Router is Linksys EA9500 which has 3 wifi radios (1 x 2.4ghz & 2 x 5ghz) so I can evenly split the traffic between the 3 radios.

The tests I'm referring to were all on wired CAT5e gigabit ethernet, straight into the router - no wireless at all.
