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?

that's why anyone who has internet connection 20mbps above needs 5Ghz WiFi AC instead of slow 2.4Ghz N

2,4Ghz N only can achieve high speed when signal is above 80%,

also why many ppl complaint unifi 30 or above dont have actual package speed especially on wifi

tm always give lasap d-link wireless N 2.4Ghz router

if internet over 100Mbps, u must have Gigabit LAN over cables or Wifi AC/AD 5Ghz standard

* and take note Wireless N also got 5Ghz but doesnt mean it is faster than 2.4Ghz N, same IMO

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.

yep thats 5Ghz N and it still has same speed of 2.4Ghz N, just different frequency that can prevent being overlapped by other electronic device frequencies /neighbour 2.4 Wifi nearby
