Wifi booster and antenna

As a point of clarification, I think you meant 5 MHz not 5 G. That is not a speed but a signal length. The reason is most things ran on 2.4 MHz so there was a lot of interference. You probably had your WiFi signal fighting with something else, that is why it is working good now. In fact 5 MHz is a shorter wave length and doesn't travel as far especially through objects like walls.

A repeater (booster) will NOT speed up the signal. Actually, it will slow it down. We wanted to get an extender for home, so we could get "faster" signals inside the camper when parked at home so streaming video would quit freezing, which it did not do in the house. The guys from Best Buy said they do NOT increase speed, they actually slow it down. I forget the exact amount, but it was something like 50% slower for each repeater in a chain. So the original would be 100%, the second 50%, the third would be 25% of the original, and so on.

Turned out, our wifi at home had 2 settings. When we flipped over to 5G, we never had any problems again.

This is just something to consider if you are looking for more "speed". You can't get any more "speed" from the original than what it can send and receive, but you will always get degradation.
