I have a RT-AC68P. I'm wondering whether it is because I have too much traffic and clients. Or that my 5G network is saturated by neighbors AP? I can see a couple of them between 45-55 dbm. Should I should go for something like a beefier setup with pfsense /opnsense and just use the RT-AC68P as an access point?
I have 10-15 devices. smartphones, tablets, tv, smart plugs, NAS etc. My bedroom is a little far from my wifi router which has the poorest 5Ghz wifi coverage. I can see the signal fluctuating between 100-500mbps. When I'm pushing out heavy traffic from my bedroom, I'm seeing the router becomes unresponsive, login to web gui becomes near impossible. All the other devices wifi connection starts slowing down. Latency goes through the roof. This normally occurs when I'm pushing traffic hard from devices with poor coverage. I'm assuming this is normal behavior when the clients are having a poor connection? I had a lot of devices connected to this box previously but I hardwired most of heavy usage devices.
