Windows 10: WiFi faster in flight mode

I have had issues for several weeks whereby in normal mode my wireless on a Dell E7450 gives speeds of 200-300Kb/s (measured using fast.com) however if I switch on Flight Mode and activate WiFi I get 75Mb/s.

This is 100% repeatable across multiple access points.

I have tried switching off Bluetooth and running normally i.e. no in Flight Mode, the result is the same. I have deleted the WiFi drivers and reinstalled them yet the issue remains.

Any suggestions what may be causing this issue?

I am running Win10 1909 build 18363.752

Flight mode and WiFi-Bluetooth are mutually exclusive.

Flight mode is the name of the facility that turns off WiFi & Bluetooth. If you turn either of them back on your are no longer in Flight mode.

WiFi faster in flight mode

Thank you for the reply, I am aware that I am not in Flight Mode, which is actually irrelevant to the problem I describe.

If Flight Mode is engaged and the WiFi is enabled then WiFi operates at 75Mb/s, without Flight Mode it is 200Kb/s.
