Only 173.3 Mbps on 5Ghz between Archer C80 and Intel Wireless-AC 7265NGW

As the title says, when I look at the Wifi status, the speed only shows 173.3 Mbps, even though in theory both devices should be able to connect with each other at significantly higher speed.
Transfering big files the speed tops at 16.6 MB/s. (SSD to HDD NAS and vice versa)
Location: Indonesia
Wifi router: TP-Link Archer C80
Wifi adapter: Intel Wireless-AC 7265NGW (max 867 Mbps @ 5Ghz)
The router is new, fresh out of the box. Updated the firmware to the latest version. The adapter driver also updated to the latest version.
The router and the laptop only a meter apart, no barrier whatsoever.
I've tried a few suggested tips, like using 80Mhz for the channel width and trying some of the available channel, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. At the moment I set both to auto.
I plan to transfer big files between the laptop and NAS, so getting as close to the maximum speed as possible is important.
Anyone has encountered the same problem and solve the mystery?
Thanks in advance..
Thank you for your response! (I almost gave up lol)
Unfortunately, my problem isn't the internet speed. I only have a 50Mbps connection anyway so there's no problem reaching max internet speed available to me on all of my devices. (constant 50 Mbps down and 25Mbps up)
The issue was the local network connection itself, because I plan to transfer files between devices within the network (PC/NAS/laptop/phone). The NAS are connected through the gigabit switch, so no problem there.
At the moment I have to use a gigabit ethernet adapter to get better speed for my laptop, but then what's the point of having high speed AC wifi ^^; I was hoping to be able to utilize the router to it's maximum potential.
Anyway, here's my speedtest result:
Interestingly, my Pi4 are able to connect at 433.3 Mbps (bit rate), So there must be something that can be optimized here.
