5ghz speed 0. mb/s , 2.4 ghz speed 80 mb/s on Linksys EA9500

this happens periodically. every device we can is on the 5ghz network, but there are these intense slowdowns. powercycling usually helps and we replaced our modem on advice of ISP thinking that could be an issue.

i just discovered yesterday the 2.4ghz network was fine and toggled off and on the 5ghz network and that fixed it. it was 1000x the speed on 2.4 ghz vs 5ghz which makes no sense!

WPS, parental control, device prioritization are all off. the only setting on which could impact I can think of is band steering. would that make an impact? anything else?
