2018 LG 4K Smart TV Streaming Issue

So basically I worked all summer at McDonald's to get some tech cash, upgraded my computer and everything, but I also bought the 43" 2018 LG 4K AI Thinq TV, and when I tried to stream youtube or netflix on its built in smart player on our 5ghz wifi which my s7 active normally gets around 150mbps, but my tv got around 7 to 12 if it was lucky. I looked online and found that other LG smart TVs had the same problem, even on pricier oled ones. I found a weird fix on tomshardware where you clear the advertising cookies and the browser cookies and something else and then unplug it for a bit but even after doing that it can barely get up to 1080p once in a while one room over from the router. I was wondering if anyone had any issues with any of their LG Tv's or have heard from any where else about this.

Can you use 2.4GHz? Or ethernet?

Yes 2.4ghz was worse (duh) and ethernet only managed to peak at 2k a couple of times. And the room which the tv is in doesn't have ethernet
