hi Tye8len9
first of your not stuck on 2.4 gig if your getting above 400M sync as 400M sync is the fastest 2.4 gig goes
and how are you actuall changing from 2.4 gig to 5 gig ?
what client device are you using to test the speed ?
here i get my full 100Mbps ( the full speed of my internet plan ) speeds anywhere in the house using my sony xpedia m4 aqua mobile phone when its connected to 5 gig and about 45Mbps when connected to 2.4 gig
im in a 4000 square home with lots of walls
so something you are doing is not right

Thanks for the reply, when I refer to changing fror 2.4 to 5g it on the Netgear Genie app under Wieless settings you can see what your system is doing signal strength, link rate, what channel the band is using etc either 2.4g of 5g .I'm using the speed test app and Fast .com and a couple other one to test the speed from my Samsung Galaxy j7 phone I guess I'll only going to get what my plan allows me.
Thankls
