I've applied this and am currently testing it Bjoern. It's working fine, 
but I'm not seeing any difference I must confess :(

Incidentally, I created a guest network on my Deco wireless, and only 
enabled 5ghz. That's at least forcing my laptop to choose it over 2.4.

ifconfig -v wlan0 is below. If there's any further information I can 
gather, please just ask :)

Many thanks!
