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

How slow is your 2.4ghz?
Reason I ask is that 2.4ghz is a slow network and sensitive to interference. Its not supposed to be as fast as 5ghz. but it broadcasts further and through more materials.
So saying its slow, its just saying its acting like it supposed to. but describing what actual speeds you get much help determine if its functioning as it should, or if its running actually slower.
