Good grief. Width issue aside, you're competing with a lot of other access points. That's wild.

That's not alot. At my old home I used to use DFS until a radar plane flew over and everyone's wifi defaulted to the same channel. The Linksys WRT32X was just trash in a fancy case though.

It's always possible one or two moronic neighbors are responsible though the misuse of mesh network gear.

More like one or six, by the looks of it. If you look at the screenshot really carefully, there are many SSIDs that are duplicated for some reason, and a lot of hidden SSIDs. It might also be a bug of the software in the screenshot, idk.
