    Hello, I recently changed my ISP to UPC, 5 GHz. I have 30 ping, sometimes less, but I sure hope it's not the maximum possible UPC. I have several channels to choose from on the internet settings page.
    Is there any difference between the channels? (more MB download, upload or ping)

    Run some WiFi analyzer first and check what your neighbors are broadcasting on. Choose something free. At 5 GHz, you must be close to the Access Point, because any obstacle introduces a lot of attenuation and the transfer drops. Sometimes in such a situation it is better to set it to 2.4GHz.

    I tried on 2.4GHz, but the internet was terrible. Sometimes in games 3000 ping, downlodu about 30, upload 20. On 5GHz download 90, upload 30, ping 15ms
    Can I get some 'instructions' about the wifi analyzer, what should I do to check where my neighbors are broadcasting? ;p

    Download, run, leave it running for such 10 minutes, make a screenshot and put it here:

    UPC has active Smart wifi and IPv6 in its modem routers.
    The first is that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks have the same network name and the same encryption key - which actually makes the equipment stupid and does not know whether it connects to 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Solution: give different wifi network names and a different encryption key for each network.
    The second is to disable IPv6 through the operator's hotline - the same problems.

    And as for 5GHz, do not exceed channel 50, weather radars are often above, there are also DFS channels and these are also problems.
