Sometimes the throughput on the 2.4GHz band is lower. One way you can check is, on the laptop that is connected to the 2.4GHz radio, click on the following link and see what result it gives you. Again, make sure to do this on the laptop in question. It will give you the throughput of the method with which you are connected, in this case being the 2.4GHz band. http://192.168.0.1/limited.html#!/general/lan_speed P.S. This link will give you the throughput on any device you are connected with as long as you click on it while using that device. Edit: Just to be clear, this only tests the throughput between the modem and your device, not your internet speed. If it's above your internet speed, you should be fine. If it's lower than your internet speed, it can cause issues with that device...internet speed wise, that is.
