@eschmidt 2ss did the survey, moved both APs to clean 5 GHz channels, and enabled band steering. Most clients are on 5 GHz now. Huge improvement. if teh behaviour persists, more detail about the environment would help.

been there man surevy shows about a dozen neighbouring networks on 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz is much quieter. APs are both at max transmit power, the office is one floor, roughly open plan.

Prebuilts often save money on the power supply, the motherboard, single channel RAM or a weak cooler. If you go prebuilt, check the full part list, not just the CPU and GPU names.

some laptops use OEM customized drivers (common on hybrid graphics). in that case get the driver from the laptop makers support page, or use teh generic NVIDIA package only if it explicitly lists mobile GPUs.

wait what some Windows Update printer drivers are acutally the vendors newer releases. Check whether its really generic before blocking it. but hey ymmv
