5GHz WiFi wofully slow compared to 2.4GHz WiFi

5GHz WiFi is wofully slow compared to 2.4GHz WiFi
If I connect to SENSE using the 5GHz WiFi I get Download and Upload speeds (using Ookla Speedtest) of
1.5Mbps to 6.6Mbps Download and 1.5Mbps to 7.5Mbps Upload
If I connect to the 2.4GHz channel on SENSE I get Donwload and Upload speeds in the rage of
46Mbps to 76Mbps Download and 15Mbps Uplaod (more or less constant upload speed)
Do you have any tips on what I can do to try to find the cause of this.
I have tried to restart SESE and the computer (Surface Pro 4) without it helping.

Do you get those speeds with 5GHz when your surface is very close to Sense router?
5Ghz has shorter range.
Got 80Mbps after changing channel, so might have been the reason. I will do more testing and see if the speed keeps up. But for now it looks like all is well
I just tested my Sense Wifi speed.
Using 2,4 GHz I got about 24 Mbit/s download speed and with 5 GHz over 90 Mbit/s (my Internet connection has max. 110 Mbit/s download speed)
Our neighborhood has many 2,4 GHz networks but only a few 5 GHz
