Some possible clues could include unusual network activity, sudden drops in connection speed, strange error messages, or devices appearing on your network without your permission.
For better results, use channels 1, 6, or 11 on 2.4GHz. Other channels will lead to heavy interference. The user should determine which channel has the lowest traffic among the three.
It will increase interference and cause collisions on sub-channels that the AP won't detect. This results in dropped cells without any retransmission requests, leading to major windowing issues. Honestly, I prefer 2.4 GHz—anything else except 1.6, 11 should be disabled.
Your router automatically connects to IPs 4 and 5, which gives you better speed and lower latency even when they overlap. This goes against standard practices, but it works well for you. Someone might have some useful advice.
I understand - having the option to mute other channels besides these three doesn't make much sense. It seems you're noticing increased interference on the left side of channel 1 and the right side of channel 11, especially on radio bands outside the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz range. To be precise, your tests were conducted on channels 1 and 6, and both performed worse than a 4/5 rating. Channel 5 overlaps with channel 1 somewhat and with channel 6 significantly (Channel 4 also has overlap, with more on channel 1 and less on channel 6).
