The other interference problem is that all devices talking to a particular access point are all transmitting on the same frequency. As wireless is a shared transmission medium they all have to take turns and if two or more devices happen to try to transmit at the same time they'll corrupt each other's message and have to go through the random exponential back off to try to find clear air, leading to random changes in latency & throughput.

I just bought a Triband wifi6/ax router for like 150 quid. 5GHz band A -->> Main computer 5Ghz band B -->> iPhones & tablets & laptop 2.4ghz band -->> Everything else that is potentially noisy (ahem sketchy IoTs)
