So tonight I was finally frustrated enough by my wireless to download an analysis tool and take a look at what was going on and turns out my connection was only 2.4 GHz and on a very busy channel. So I took a look at my router configuration and I had both 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs set to the same thing, all my devices were connected to the 2.4 GHz SSID.
So I renamed that slow ass SSID to something else and set the 5 GHz channel to the only one with no other routers on and now my connection is magically delicious
Why didn't I do this before? *sigh*

Amazingly I'm the only one on the channel I picked, everyone else is clogged on their system default channels
