For the 2.4GHz antenna, force it to use channel 6 and decrease the channel bandwidth to 20MHz.

 

For the 5GHz antenna, force it to use channel 40 or 44 and disable 160MHz channel bandwidth for now. 80MHz should be fine.

 

Reboot the wireless router.

 

Test speeds.

 

Try to avoid connecting to the 2.4GHz SSID if you can help it.

 

BTW, what is available under "Wireless Mode" for each antenna?

on 2.4GHz what is the difference between 20mhz vs 40mhz. is it just faster but cant go as far

1. If the RT-AX86U is upstairs (assuming it’s a 2-level house), is it centrally located or off to the side?
2. How many walls are there between the test device and the RT-AX86U when you’re testing it 20 feet away? Walls (especially concrete or those with metal reinforcement) will dampen WiFi signals.
3. While most WiFi antennae on home routers are omni-directional, their signal doesn’t reach very far in the vertical direction. So if you want to get better speeds on the level with slower speeds, you’ll need to add another wireless AP. Also remember that floors, just like walls, dampen WiFi signals.
4. 2.4GHz is great for range but it tops out at a much slower speed (even on AX) than 5GHz. Furthermore, it’s more susceptible to interference from other sources of 2.4GHz radio waves (e.g. microwaves, cordless phones, your neighbours’ WiFi). All these factors will slow down 2.4GHz significantly so you should only use it if all you want to get is better range and don’t care about speed or you have devices whose internet activity is low priority (e.g. IoT gadgets).
5. Run a wireless survey using WiFi Analyzer (search the Microsoft Store) and post the screenshot of the ‘Analyze’ page for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It will highlight which channels you can use/avoid in your home for the best WiFi experience.
6. Post a screenshot of the RT-AX86U wireless settings. Hide any passwords, of course.
7. Disable any unnecessary services that the router might have running which you don’t need. Security features like deep packet inspection, intrusion detection/prevention, etc. are taxing on CPU resources and will slow down the entire router, including radio performance.

2. there where no walls in the way. the 20 feet away was in the same room as the router

What is the phy rate on your phone? The current phy rate isn't 5700mbit on your phone.

 

Why not juse use 5ghz then?

when i go downstairs 5ghz is only 114 down 116 up. the isp provided router did better.

What phy rate are you seeing?

 

What client device?

 

What are the 5ghz speeds?

phy rate is 5700mbps
the device is my phone
5ghz about 20 feet away they are 572 down 598 up

i have a Asus RT-Ax86U and i have been having slow wifi speeds. my speeds are 750 up 750 down. when im on 2.4GHz standing in front of the router my speeds are 100mbps. when i walk like 20 feet away the speed drops to around 80mbps. it is slower than my isp provided router

i have these 2 old Singing machine classic speakers that go to an Singing Machine Karaoke Pedestal System (https://bit.ly/2YOa9pb) that is broken I still want to use the speakers how would I power them they use a 3.5 mm headphone jack 

what motherboard you using

Use hwinfo64 or cpu-z to monitor the frequency 

Also 5.1 is totally achievable with a 9700k 

What does that mean 

And at what voltage ?

dont know if this is normal but my i7-9700k idles around 5.10GHz. i have the gamers overclock on in the asus bios

Your router has to support those speeds on all internal ports. 2.5Gb and 5Gb are very new and likely not supported on the equipment you have. You either have all 1/10Gb capable internal ports or all 1Gb capable.

if i took a router that supported 2GB then pluged it into the 2.5GB PCIe adapter would it work

Yes, it has to support 2.5Gb speeds on the interface you connect the cable to from your PC

my internet is 2GB the network adapter is 2.5GB would that work

You need more than just that. You need EVERYTHING in the chain from your ISP's router to your machine to support speeds over 1Gbps. If you buy that card and your router, switch, etc. doesn't support it then it will just run at 1Gbps.

what you are telling me is the router has to support 2GB

could i use this https://www.trendnet.com/products/wired/2.5GBASE-T-PCIe-Network-Adapter-TEG-25GECTX

i have this motherboard ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 Gaming Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 802.11AC Wi-Fi and the Ethernet on it is only 1GB but i have 2GB internet how would i get the full speeds of my internet.
