Model: Archer C1900

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 3.17.0

I have 200mbps service from Comcast.

When I use my Apple iPhone SE (2022) in the same room as my C1900 rounter on 5gh wifi and run Xfinity speed test I get 191mbps.

When I use my Apple iPhone SE (2022) on 2.4gh wifi in the same room and run Xfinity speed test I get 97mbps.

The modem is a Arris SB6183 directly connected to the TP Link C1900 router.

Any advice why it is running slower on 2.4 gh WiFi?

Thanks

@cwradio

The 2.4 will get you more distance and slower speeds. The 5 will get faster speeds but not the distance. Also the 2.4 tends to have more interference and more traffic which affects speed. Your settings and channel selection is a factor also.

Even the router specs show slower speeds for 2.4 than 5 but the router will have higher speeds than your ISP speeds.

try different channels and band width as that may help.
