"Is Smart Connect enabled? No, however when enabled, upload doesnt work." So 5Ghz upload works if you don't have Smart Connect enabled?
What channels are you using on 5Ghz and what channels are your nighbors using on 5Ghz?

Is Smart Connect enabled? I just enabled it and its hit or miss, contingent on applicaton I cant upload files! icloud mail = NOPE, Outlook = yes.
Wetransfer = NOPE, DROP BOX = YES.
What channels are you using on 5Ghz and what channels are your nighbors using on 5Ghz? With Smartconncet its on 48.
