Yes, I have my 2.4 and 5 Ghz set to a single channel. I tried switching it up thinking maybe that could help. I recently bought the Securifi Almond + Router/Access Point and Range Extender in 1. I heard great reviews of it from the Time Warner technician that frequented my house back in 2016 so I thouight I'd get it a shot. I have it set to a Range Extender for now and haven't seen any problems yet. My friend suspected Steam might've been responsible for my connection dropping specifically when he would watch my game via Steam Broadcast. It happened twice in a row after power cycling but I disregarded it as a potential cause.
