I just heard a whole fuck ton on my last run like an hour ago. Got out of that ambulance and I was like the fuck? Already?

I've got 104 down/119 up with fios on using the wifi 5ghz band, but only 29 down/12 up on the wifi 2.4ghz band (iPhone) with no other devices on/connected. I know it won't be as good as a direct connection to the router on a pc, but that still shouldn't be that way I don't think, when 4 months ago I was getting the 100+ up/down over wifi.

There are only 3 non overlapping channels on 2.4ghz vs 24 on 5Ghz... Then consider 90% of WiFi traffic is still on 2.4Ghz. Then consider with the same data formation 2.4Ghz has more range, you have a lot more chance for interference.

I can get full pipe speed of my 200/20 over 5Ghz on my phone, but standing next to my router get 30/20 on 2.4 and I'm surprised as hell it's that fast.

it just seems odd to me that I was receiving 100+ up and 100+ down for three months, then all of a sudden I lose more than 70% on it

I built a 2.4ghz network for a customer with one AP, for a parking lot approximately 6 acres square. One summer FiOS becomes available in the surrounding neighborhood and we had to set up 8 more APs with a (then expensive) 5Ghz backbone network... All because there were now 56 WiFi networks interfering. Get a wifi network analyzer app and see if you can move your channel to one used the least. Also setting a static channel can persuade other APs to auto select another channel.

Or use 5Ghz

Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
