I have a Linksys EA7500 AC1900 router. It works flawlessly on the 5GHz network. However the 2.4GHz network has a lot of trouble.
I have a strong signal throughout the entire house so I've ruled out weak signal as the cause. I'm using a 2011 MacBook Air and the built-in wireless diagnostics to examine wifi performance.
If a wireless device is on the 2.4GHz network it will have full bars but web browsing, gaming, video streaming will come to a complete halt. I've attached a screenshot of the wireless diagnostics and you can see the large spikes if the noise floor from -100dbm to almost -80. As a result the quality graph is all over the place.
The test is being conducted on the same floor as the router approximately 40 feet away. I made sure the test wasn't being run while the microwave was on. There is no cordless phone in the house either. I've run some wireless scans as well and I have the router set to channel 1, there is only 1 other 2.4GHz network around so it's the least congested channel.
Any insight into what is happening here would be great.
