About 5 years ago I switched to a faster internet speed for my house. I was playing games online and had several devices streaming plus I wanted my games to download faster. About 2 years ago my router was outdated so I bought a new one with both a 5GHz and 2.4GHz which I never had. Of course I name both networks and set up two passwords.
For the last two years my gaming device was connected to the 2.4GHz network. When I renamed them I guess I forgot which one I named for me. My guests devices and streaming devices were connected to the fastest network the whole time. I didn’t realize until today when I noticed my network taking a little longer than normal to download an update. When I opened the settings I saw 2.4GHz network connected. I was dumbfounded when this whole time I thought since my router was one floor above me the signal was just weak. My download went from around 50Mbps to over 100.
TL;DR: for 2 years my guests have been using my 5GHz WiFi network while I’ve been my slower 2.4GHz WiFi.
