R6300v2 slow wifi speeds

Hi, before I get asked I have firmware V1.0.4.2_10.0.74. As my title says I am getting extremely slow wifi speeds and I am unable to figure out why but only on the 2.4Ghz side. The 5Ghz side I am getting 100MBps. The 2.4Ghzs side is 16Mbps if I am lucky. I am hoping that someone will have an answer since I am all out of them. Thank you in advance.
  • I went back into my settings and under mode for 2.4Ghz it was selected as 54MBps so I simply changed that setting to 450Mbps and it corrected the issue. Stupidity on my part.

      Not really. More like honesty in telling people what you have done.
