Last weekend I went to Singapore.
Using my iPhone 6S
Connect to a 2.4Ghz SSID (DLink DIR-868L router)
Did a Speedtest and got this result.
[attachmentid=8481731]

Then connect to a 5Ghz SSID (on the same router)
Did a Speedtest and got this result.
[attachmentid=8481732]

How come I can get a faster speed on the 5Ghz connection?

Thats normal... Its like comparing 2 lane highway vs 5lane highway...

For sure wider 5 lane highway u get more chance to drive at higher speed...


But 5lane highway also shorter.. so u cannot reach far compared to 2 lane highway that can cover longer distance...

This is the easiest example to compare between 2.4ghz wifi and 5ghz wifi bandwidth speed...
