NX1 Vs NX500 for wifi

I've been using the Samsung camera app to transfer photos and videos to my note 9 and I've found that whilst it usually works well, the NX1 transfers much faster than the nx500. I'm confused as to why this is, as both cameras have identical SD cards inserted. I know the NX1 supports 5ghz WiFi and the NX500 doesn't but I can't imagine this makes a huge difference?

It basically means that it's not worth transferring videos to the nx500 as it's too slow.

NX500 is capped at ~3-4MB/s at best (54Mbps will do that to you) while NX1 is apparently (I don't have it to test it) almost three times faster.

Thanks, I can definitely confirm that NX1 is lightening fast transferring over WiFi. (When I can connect that is 😂)
