Dozens of routers operating within radio range, confined by concrete and drywall to a shared spectrum envelope, contending for three non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels and a finite pool of 5 GHz channels. The interference is not random — it is structured and analyzable. A ten-minute channel survey and deliberate channel selection produces measurably better performance than accepting whatever channel the router’s auto-select algorithm chose.
