R7000 slow 2.4ghz (but fast 5ghz)
I found this thread which is pretty old ... I have the exact same problem - I guess I would have to buy a new router too :S
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
2.4Ghz speed depends on device support and design. Most devices will cap out at around anywhere from 50Mpbs to 100Mpbs, depending upon device design and support.
2.4Ghz speeds will never see same speeds as 5Ghz.
