This survey shows a lot of nearby Wi-Fi signals in your home area. It doesn’t include other sources like Bluetooth or microwaves. When many signals overlap, devices have to switch between them, similar to traffic at a busy intersection. Everyone will eventually get through, but it will take longer. If you keep using 2.4GHz, you’ll likely face delays unless you move to a less crowded place. Your current setup uses channel 11 with three other networks, making interference very likely compared to channel 6, which has only one nearby source. You’d prefer a clear channel, but 2.4GHz is too narrow for today’s neighborhoods. Narrow channels mean less chance to collide, but also less space for data. On the other hand, 5GHz offers more channels and less congestion, allowing wider bands like 40MHz or even 160MHz for faster speeds—if your devices support it. After changing channels, always check again to avoid interfering with neighbors’ Wi-Fi.
