Not a lot to offer here, we know Apple/NG are working on this. It's actually banding issues, conflict between devices. The 2.4 and 5GHz channels don't really affect the 6 and 7 usage (5 is used for the 7), and we don't know what the 6E/7 channel decisions are that are being made as we have no config for that.
