my streaming download rate becomes too low to maintain video around 2100-00-0200 every night. i have ftth nbn, but i have enabled wifi on my router, and on 2.4GHz, there are up to 10 sources detected in range. we use 2.4wifi for mobiles/tablets/laptop. my pc is wired. i don't know if all other devices can be put onto 5.8GHz, i will try it and turn off 2.4 network, hoping to dodge the problem.
Network congestion causing low wifi streaming rate at night?

What was the fix?
Using WIFI at 5GHz signal?
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected

Probably have several of these using the same channel you have yours set to use.
5GHz has many more channels.
