RAX120 speed

My speed on the 5.0 band is what is expected (352 mbps). However on the 2.4 band it's only 60 mbps. Why?

    could be device related. 

    it could be the fact that 2.4ghz has much lower bandwidth speeds than 5ghz

    it could be interference on the 2.4ghz band since its more congested than 5ghz

    it could be any number of things. 

    Its hard to guess what your speeds should be off limited info as well as it could be more than 1 thing influencing it.
