Thank you for the reply.
I appreciate the through examples given, but I don't believe those principles apply here. I have tested the WIFI using my laptop (Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6) and my Samsung S22+My Laptop isnt 6E, so I cannot use the 6Ghz band, but my phone is.
The first chart is the laptop speed over the last 5 days, as you can see it varies rather dramatically. But I cannot find "why" it dips like it does, and it isn't device specific (2nd photo, phone, showing same dip of speed) but if I run the test with the 6E moments later I get 650 Mbps, same location.
I feel like its being throttled specifically in the 5Ghz range, but I dont know why.Is Smart Connect enabled or disabled?
Try with Smart Connect disabled and devices connected on 5Ghz.
Smart Connect is disabled, I've never had it on:
