Hi guys,
i have fios 1gb internet with very decent wifi speed on the 5GHZ wifi at around 500mb download and upload. When I connect my iPad to the 5GHZ wifi everything is very fast except the wechat app ( it's like Snapchat type app that is widely used in Asia).
This wechat app is insanely slow on the 5GHZ wifi, like every single voice chat and photo takes 30 seconds to 1 min to download.
But when I switch to the 2.4 GHZ wifi at around 30 mb download, the wechat app goes back to normal all the voice chat and photos download in less than a second. Before fios I had cable internet, and wechat also worked perfectly fine.
i have been trying to debug this for months but for the life of me cannot figure out why the 5GHZ wifi is making wechat so slow. This is very frustrating because all my extended family use wechat to keep in touch daily, so I need to switch to 2.4 ghz wifi constantly just to download the wechat voice chats and photos then switch back to 5 ghz for everything else to take advantage of the much faster speed.
I am located in edgewater NJ, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
