A 5GHz wireless LAN will almost always be slower than 2.4 GHz – the 5GHz frequencies are subject to greater attenuation so that you end up with a weaker signal at the same distance. Given the same levels of noise, a weaker signal results in a lower SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and a lower quality connetcion.

First, let’s talk theoretical throughput. As Intel put it, “Wi-Fi 6 is capable of a maximum throughput of 9.6 Gbps across multiple channels, compared to 3.5 Gbps on Wi-Fi 5 .” In theory, a WiFi 6 capable router could hit speeds over 250% faster than current WiFi 5 devices.

If your mobile is connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi then you cannot get more than 50 Mbps Speed . Only a 5 GHz signal will be able to provide you with the high speed connection.

Cause 2: Not “Steering” Clear of the 2.4 GHz Band All too often, the culprit of slow Wi-Fi is use of the 2.4 GHz band, which offers slower data rates and is often oversaturated with Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices, like microwave or baby monitors.
