Archer AX11000 very slow 2.4 Ghz Wifi connection speed even when less than 1 meter from router

Hi All,
Got a Archer AX11000 last week. Problem is that it has very slow
2.4 Ghz Wifi connection speeds. Even when less than 1 meter
from router.
My connection to ISP is 250 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload.
AX11000 management page speed test confirms it.
Archer AX11000 connected to ISP Box ( Ziggo) via 2.5 Gbps port.
Speed connection via 2.4 Ghz ( I have no 5 Ghz capable devices)
is much worst than the Wifi provided by the ISP provider. I plan on
using 5 Ghz later. Wanted the Router to primarily improve the 2.4 Ghz
connection speed.
Speed are 20 Mbps at 5 meters to 48 Mbps when less than 20 cm
from the AX11000 router antenas...
If I use the Wifi from the ISP Router can get to 150 t0 180 Mbps with no
big effort when 1 meter from router.
Signal strenght at the same distance, when measured with Wifi Channel Graph
Apps is 60% of signal from ISP Wifi Router...
What I did for troubleshooting:
- Tried first with shipped firmware.
- Upgraded to latest firmware.
- Turned to router on and off.
- Turned off 5 Ghz
- Tried with SSID visible or invisible
- Tried three different Android phones
- Two different Laptops both with Windows/Linux dual boot
Connection speed tops for all at the 48 to 49 Mbps with 2.4 Ghz
Was expecting much better looking at the specs of the AX11000 and the price.
I have no other devices using Wifi bands and no other signals are close
that could interfere. No overlapping channels from neigbours or that
type of problem.
Its an expensive router to offer worst Wifi quality than I can get
now with devices more than 4 years old...
Anybody else seeing the same ? Suggestions ?
Is there a new beta version of firmware ?
Best Regards,
John Sina

Hello all, apologies for the late answer.
Please check and ensure the QoS settings match the bandwidth provided by your ISP or you may simply disable it to give it a go:
Change its 2.4GHz channel to 1/6/11, channel width to 40MHz; Try different 5GHz channels, channel width to 80MHz or even 160MHz, save and reboot the router.
