To improve compatibility with your thermostat, try disabling AX mode for the 2.4Ghz band (it's in Advanced / Wireless Setup). If that doesn't work, try setting CTS/RTS Threshold for at least 2.4Ghz to 2347 (it's in Advanced / Advanced / Wireless Settings).

The distance is about 20ft between router and thermostat with a wall between them. The other sat is also about 30 ft with a couple walls between them.

That seems to have worked. Will update this thread if it keeps bouncing!
