      Why would it need 5GHz? At most it needs to do two audio streams, which aren’t going to need lots of bandwidth

        Interference. Especially in apartment complexes, the 2.4Ghz band is busy, causing a lot of packet drops and random disconnects.

          I’ve eliminated 2.4GHz wifi in the house for this reason.
          The only downside is, I really need to get a couple more WAPs installed.

          HA has been dead handy when I occasionally need to use an old device, as I can flip the second radio on from a dashboard.
