I am only able to upload files on 2.4g. If I turn on my VPN, then I am able to upload on 5g. I can’t just run on 2.4g because the speed is awfully slow and downloading files takes a bit of time. I handle about 50 files a day downloading, then uploading. Switching back and forth is not productive at all.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
