Turn off the 802.11 a/b protocols at the router. The 'b' protocol is available in 2.4 GHz networks, and the 'a' protocol is available in 5.0 GHz networks. Both are antique and slow down wifi connections nowadays. Something like <https://ibb.co/PrLGY5T>. Notice the 2.4 GHz mode is 802.11 g/n, not 802.11 b/g/n. And the 5/0 GHz mode should be 802.11 n/ac, not 802.11 a/n/ac. Also see <https://blogs.cisco.com/networking/bring-out-yer-dead-5-steps-to-eliminate-802-11b-from-your-networks>. Jeff
