I checked my mom's phone too for this and it's slow too. So some apps like magisk, infinity have been having issues with the wifi. They take a long time to load. In WhatsApp or takes an eternity to backup. Everything works fine on mobile data. Been having issues since yesterday. Wifi doesn't seem to work on my mom's phone at all. My phone runs OneUI 5 Core Android 13 and my mom's phone is running ColorOS 11.1 Android 11. The router in question is a TP-LINK Archer C20 V4.
(Browser works fine lol)

So most of your stuff looks good...
If your phones have fast connections to other sites (including speed test servers), it is unlikely to be anything to do with your configuration and more to do with the ISP and/or servers for those apps.
But, you can try changing your encryption to WPA3 (pure) or WPA2, since WPA2/3 mixed mode (sae-mixed) doesn't always work well.
The other thing you can do is drop your 5G radio to VHT40 instead of VHT80. This reduces the theoretical maximum wifi speeds, but can be beneficial in that it is less susceptible to interference from other nearby wifi APs , and therefore may actually improve practical performance.

How can I drop the 5G radio? I can't find the setting anywhere.
From openwrt gui, go to network>>wireless, click "edit" for radio 1 (5g in your case) , then change the width from 80 to 40. Save then save and apply.

I don't think that there is an issue with the servers of the apps, because Google services are working pretty slow along with WhatsApp (backup functionality). However, the steps you told me didn't work for me.
Do the problems affect normal computers, or only Android phones?
What are the results of standard speed tests (like speedtest.net )? What about if you use Google's speed test?
I'm using Arch Linux on my laptop, so I don't see much problems here. Secondly speedtest.net shows 73.16 mbps download speed and Google's speed test shows 81.0 download speed.
Was that from your Arch Linux laptop, or from Android?

You said that regular data connection is reliably faster? If so, and as suggested put you 5g radio on WPA2 force cipher CCMP (AES)

^^one word response make you [strike]a[/strike] the forum GOD!
How did you manage on changing the cipher on the password?
I didn't get that.
How does this matter though? Why are we diverging from the original topic?
Still broken. Contacting my ISP.
SOLVED! IPv6 seems to be the culprit. Now everything works like it was supposed to! I'll get rid of it now. Putting this here for everyone.
Do you mean you disabled ipv6 wan?

I think he deleted wan6 interface altogether.
I can still get it back with the reset button if I need to.

Good. I would have never thought to suggest removing IPV6 as a solution. But for the sake of Solution, I admit that I remove it ASAP, on my two routers on every upgrade.
