WyzeCam becoming more & more unusable?

Per @spamoni ’s suggestion, I updated my Wi-Fi routers at work to the ASUS RT-AX86U and my home router to the dual unit ASUS AiMesh ZenWiFi XD6 with an Ethernet as the connector between both routers and boy, the video from my Wyze cams are back to being smooth again at work and at home!

I also set up a guest network that is 2.4Ghz only for the Wyze cams as I figured it might help the cans as well not having the 5Ghz with the same SSID.

But anyway, I’m back to having smooth video with the Wyze cams. Turns out even with an updated WiFi 6 Deco router system, it just couldn’t handle streaming the video very smoothly of the Wyze Cams. Not sure if that’s a design flaw in the Wyze Cams as those deco routers handled every other video stream like a champ, NetFlix, youtube, even streaming out to youtube, etc,

So, if you have crappy performance from your wyzecams, your router is very likely the place where you can solve the issue quickly and easily, by replacing it with a better performing router.
