  • Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)

    I don’t get the option for channel 106

    Assuming you’re not in a country that blocks the use of those channels. There is a bunch of corner cutting gear out there that won’t let you use a big chunk of the 5ghz spectrum.

    If you’re shopping for new stuff look for gear that supports DFS channels in the future.

    …and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi.

    Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)

    a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them

    It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.

    In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range.

    This is indicative of the channel width. It’s a common occurrence to have a network use overlapping channels to increase performance.

    The take away is that not all channels are isolated from one another and it’s possible for a network to have many of them bonded together.

    With Wifi_Network 157 (155). It’s indicating that the network’s real channel 155 with a 80mhz channel width. But it’s configured to channel 157 for its beacon as not all devices will connect in 80mhz mode. 157 represents the 20mhz channel it’s configured to camp on.

    Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?

    Yes.
