Not much to go on here. While 5 GHz is faster than 2.4 GHz, it has a shorter range and is likely to succumb to interference. Do other wifi clients perform a lot better on the speed front?
I'm a bit puzzled by this :
So i have to resort to my 2.4 ghz wifi, but that runs at 5 mbps which is still super slow. Help would be appreciated!
Where does the original 40 Mbps come from? Even 2.4 GHz should be able to deliver that.
What is your Internet speed? What delivers the wifi signal?
