Bad first day or what I will expect with Fido internet?

[Brodin]

1. I set up my Fido modem as a new 150 Mbps customer 2 days ago. After a great deal of time troubleshooting, I have been unable to successfully get the 5GHz network to work. Both channels show as "on", but even after disabling the 2.4GHz, there was no WiFi at all. I haven't reset the modem yet, but have power cycled it and played with settings logging into the modem directly as admin.

Suggestions to enable 5GHz?

2. Although I have got almost 300 Mbps running SpeedTest on my wired computer, I am getting less than 60 Mbps on each connected WiFi device. Is there some router configuration required to get close to subscribed speeds on WiFi?

3. Previously a CarryTel customer, I always got speeds close to what I had subscribed to, but their all day outages had made me switch. I am regretting my move to Fido after the above challenges as well as being told the queue for phone support was 1 hour 45 min. Is there something I'm missing as a new customer to find better customer support?
