Thank you for all your inputs.
Looks like it is the limitation of the iPhone6S on 2.4Ghz wifi connection.
On the iphone 5, eventhough it can detect the 5Ghz SSID and can connect to it, it still has a speed of the 2.4Ghz wifi connection.

Bear in mind that the wifi standard used for iphone 5 is only standard n, and it does not support MIMO technology.
And also the processor of the phone matters too. If you compare iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, which share the similar if not same wifi configuration and controller chip, running wifi Speedtest on 5Ghz wifi network on both phones and you will realise iPhone 5s can score slightly better than 5c.
