After I started seeing the 2 different network names (the one with and one without "5G") my speed has dropped drastically. It's affecting devices across the board, on my Xbox, PC, smartphone and Mac. I have the highest plan my apartments allow- the 30mbps. Before the 5Ghz update last week, on any device I could easily achieve download speeds up to 3 MB per second. Since then however, I yet to have a download anything faster than 750KB per second.
Also my bandwidth seems to have been affected as well. Used to be able to multitask pretty easily, say while I have Netflix going on my Xbox. Now if I am watching Netflix, I can hardly load a webpage on my smartphone.
Powercycling, disconnecting/reconnecting the cables and factory resetting the router haven't done anything. Anyone know why this update would cause slower speeds when it's supposed to have been better?
