What model Arris modem or gateway are you using?  What model Ubee did you replace.  What speed is "low low low"?  Are you testing wired to the modem or over WiFi?

"whqt is 2.4 and 5" - I assume you are referring to 2.4 or 5 GHz, the frequency bands of WiFi.

The 2.4GHz band is limited to wireless "n" which has a real world limit of 45 to 70 Mbps.  The 5GHz band supports both wireless "n" with the same limit and wireless "ac" which can get you into the 300Mbps range.  The limit is what band / standard your client devices support.  If they support 5GHz 802.11ac then by all means use it.  If you have wireless "n" devices supporting both bands, I would use 5GHz, it is less crowded and less chance of interference.  If your devices only support 2.4GHz, the decision is made for you.  Don't forget, your actual speed is dependent on your distance from the gateway and amount of interference in the band.  This is basic WiFi, doesn't have anything to do with Cox Internet service and applies to any provider you may go with.

I was reading over the notes on the account, I see where a ticket had been created because our Maintenance team got involved (ESR000002206250). How has the service been the last couple of days, please let us know if you require further assistance. -Derrick
