It’s best not to have any other wireless devices (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or anything else) too close.
You can use a Wi-Fi analyzing app (I like Netspot) to see how busy the channels in different bands are around your home.
Manufacturers will regularly release new firmware updates that improve compatibility and stability, and they can have a tremendous impact on your Wi-Fi performance.
