WiFi now slow while Ethernet to gateway speedy

My MAC reports mbps download via Ethernet connection at up too 200 mbps, while recently, my WiFi to my MAC, when I disconnect the Ethernet is < 20, as is my iPhone and I cannot use my Roku streaming TV now.
This is a recent change within the last week or so that the WiFi has suddenly dropped to become unusable.

  • BINGO.
    Went into the gateway control app on my iPhone and changed to 5G explicitly instead of recommended automatic, and that screams.  Now I set up additional WiFi at 2.4 for Ring and that works

  • My friend who lives next door has speedy WiFi, as fast as my Ethernet speed to the gateway.
    Why the difference?
