A 5GHz wireless LAN will almost always be slower than 2.4 GHz - the 5GHz frequencies are subject to greater attenuation so that you end up with a weaker signal at the same distance. Given the same levels of noise, a weaker signal results in a lower SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and a lower quality connetcion.
