Just bought the router, had my ISP bridge the modem did some speed test on 2.4 and 5ghz and I notice 2.4 only stays at 30 mgps. Is there a reason for this my 5G shows 170 meg which is correct thanks for all your responses.

If your 5GHz is showing the correct speed than likely the issue with 2.4GHz is congestion.  You will want to check the channel and channel width being used.  I would recommend  channels 1,6,11 as they have the least ammount of overlap with other channels so should have the least ammount of interference.  They are the most used channels so congestion may be a issue.  If that is the case try reducing the channel width to 20MHz.  this will narrow the band a bit and improve the throughput.  Channel settings are always trial and error though.  You can use a wifi anyalzer to find the least congetsted channel. Lastly make sure the frimware is up to date.
