Increase your channel width to 80 MHz. Yours is set to 40 or lower.
Increasing channel width will increase bandwidth but reduce range and increase interference.
If you only have a basic router channel width settings may not be available though.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm having difficulty keeping all my smart home devices connected including a couple cameras. They are all on my 2.4GHz channel.
I think i'm going to make a seperate post with my settings and ask for advice.
Appreciate it!
Quite a number of smart home devices may not even support 5GHz wifi, I would check first.
5GHz/40MHz wifi should be good for ~300Mbps in the same room but will rapidly go down with distance and obstructions.
