Dual band routers

I’ll keep it short and simple. I have a dual band router.
I want to know if having both the bands on reduces the network speed? As in if I switch the 5GHz network off... will I get a better speed on the 2.4GHz network?

Each one of those is a separate transmission medium, with separate transceivers. Thus the bandwidth values for them aren't summed up together. If you turn off either one you'll have less total bandwidth

Meaning that both have different values and turning one off doesn’t change the values of the other ?
