Why is donload speed slower from my cable company on 2.4 ghz vs 5 ghz
Model:R6120/AC1200
FirmwRE: 1.0.0.58
My cable company currenlty provides me with a download speed of 80mbps/ upload 6mbps.
When I set my phone or other devices to the 5 ghz band I get close to those speeds no problem, yet at the 2.4 ghz band it just makes it to 30mbps ...
Is there anythingI can do to improve this on my wireless devices that run at teh 2,4 ghz band?
Thanks in advance

Using the 5GHz band allows higher-speed communication than does using
the 2.4GHz band. This is a fundamental feature of the way the IEEE
802.11 standard is defined.> [...] 30mbps [...]
What are you doing where 30Mb/s is insufficient?
