Move closer to the WiFi point and turn off Wifi when not using it. Or don't use it at all.

My main wiFi points are adaptive and will typically switch to WiFi 4 to improve performance!
WiFi 5 needs a WiFi 5 client and mostly same room.
WiFi 6 needs a WiFi 6 client and mostly the same room and often no advantage over WiFi5.

In an apartment block or other congested place there may be no advantage at all, and WiFi 4 in same room on 5GHz will be next best after a cable. Loads of older things don't do 5 GHz.

Android changed to showing WIFI version to assist sales of upgrades.

We use ethernet when viable as it's faster.
