R7960P 2.4ghz slow
I recently upgraded internet speed to 400mbps from 100mbps. Immediately had great results with 5ghz reaching 400+speeds. However 2.4ghz actually became slower than before I upgraded. Speedtest.net...
I was getting around 75-90mbps when I had 100mbps. I tried changing it to 1,6,11 channels with 6 being the best speeds around 65-75 consistently. I have all laptops, mobile devices and tablets, smart TVs and game consoles on 5ghz. All of those receiving 300+ speeds. 2.4 is also set to manage up to 300mbps…not sure if that is relevant.

That has not much to do with the speeds you will get on 2.4 GHz.
It might be worth a bit of background reading.
