R7800 unresponsive on 2.4Ghz
Hi there Today I noticed my internet being really sluggish, but not necessarily because of my internet speed itself. I did some digging and I found that my router's 2.4Ghz band was to blame...
How many devices do your have connected through the 2.4 GHz band?
Older technology in these devices?
Interference from older cordless phones?

There's only 7 devices connected to the router, only 3 of which on 2.4Ghz: 1 android phone, LG Smart TV and 1 desktop computer. Disconnecting these didn't solve the issue.
As far as older devices are concerned there's none really that I can think of. My microwave is on the other side of the house, so that shouldn't interfere either.
Android application WiFi Analyzer (open-source) from the play store could shed some light on your RF environment.
Marginal cables, Ethernet or USB have resulted in stranger things.
Do you have the latest Wi-Fi card driver from the OEM or Microsoft?
Sample ping report attached. One trip that came in at 13 ms, everything else was 1, 2, or 3 ms.
