Might be an issues of something in the walls/area blocking signal. 5ghz doesn't penetrate materials as well as 2.4ghz.

Sure but the one furthest away, with more walls inbetweener, is giving 5G and the nearer one, with less walls, is giving 2.4G

Certain things in the walls (think hvac/plumbing) are better at blocking signal than others. Its why its worth moving around or swapping the satellites to see what changes.
