I found Windows seems to stick with 2.4GHz regardless once it connects to that. I ticked the: High Performance Devices: Connect high performance clients to 5 GHz only to on and speed went way up.
Maybe a slightly unusual situation in that I can run a few APs so there aren't any distant spots where the 2.4GHz carries but the 5GHz doesn't.
My wi-fi speed of 200-250Mbps seems pretty reasonable now. No idea what was happening previously to cause my network speed to be way lower than my internet speed.
If you go into device manager and look at your wireless card properties there might be an option to prefer 5ghz. There is on intel based chips anyway...
