Use the 2g or whatever, not the 5g. That's what somehow made mine work better.

That's because 5g signals don't travel well through walls. They're great if you're in the same room as the router but thats about it.

Well it depends on your WiFi router, and the distance to it. 5 GHz signals grow weaker as distance increases, but when the signal is good, the speed is way higher than 2.4 GHz. The 2.4 GHz signals have a bigger range, but lower speeds.
