Neighbours wifi wrecking my signal (I think)

    So a few days ago my wifi became very unstable. Signal fluctuating in strength and dropping completely at times. Internet works fine over ethernet. I noticed a new wifi connection in the list of those around me. I downkoaded a wifi analyzer app and it says that this Sky wifi is broadcasting on various channels. Another tab in the app specified channels 6 and 11 but it's also reported a third channel at times. That can't be right can it? See pic.

    Sky Q mesh network. It'll do that by design.

    2.4 is coming close to unusable in some areas. Move to 5Ghz and if that causes range issues add another access point.

    Thanks Ed. I'll switch to 5 and see how things work.
