It doesn't sound like you're actually switching to a different network.
To switch between the 2.4Ghz/5Ghz/6Ghz bands, you need to join a separate SSID(wireless network name). Your router should now be offering 3 different SSID networks. Usually it's formatted as MyNetworkName_2.4Ghz and MyNetworkName_5Ghz, and MyNetworkName_6Ghz. That is what you should see when you go to your PC and search for wifi networks. You'll need to disconnect from the 2.4Ghz network, and join the 5/6 network. Then run speedtest again.
