I have gigabit internet at my house and a single WiFi access point. I am running dual SSID's one for 2.4GHz (don't use it), and one for 5Ghz (use it). The 2.4Ghz is set to auto-channel, but the 5Ghz I statically set to channel 161 (5Ghz, 80Mhz). It shows a Tx rate of 866Mbps, and on SpeedTest.net I get around 400ish Mbps up and down. Sometimes going further back into my apartment I have to connect and disconnect from WiFi in macOS.
Should I try using a lower 5Ghz channel such as 36 or 40? Won't that decrease overall throughput? My understanding was the higher the channel number on 5Ghz, the theoretically higher the throughput.
