Not sure the speeds you quoted refer to the link speed or throughtput.After I changed my bandwidth from 80MHz to 40MHz, I have seen a speed drop from 250mbps to around 170mbps. I would gladly take the speed drop over the constant disconnection of my wireless subwoofer.
The devices on 5G network usually is all my 5G supported phones and also my laptops, but most of the time it is connected to LAN unless I'm moving it around the house.
I checked my laptop and it supports 2x2 AC wifi.
Happy for you too.Much thanks to all of you for helping me with my network issue. I have resolved it by following the suggestion posted here to change my channel and channel bandwidt
Now I'm happy with stable WiFi.

In case you don't know the difference, there is a link posted by SingTel in a thread in NGBN for the educational article:
https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/wireless-basics/32175-how-fast-can-your-wi-fi-go
Quote from the article:
It's Throughput That Counts - Don't get hung up trying to get the maximum link rate in normal use. Link rates drop even more quickly as signal levels decrease with AC class gear than they did with N. Different products also use different algorithms to maximize throughput and reliability. Lower link rates can produce higher throughput and more reliable connections. Use the tools and techniques in this article to measure and optimize throughput, not link rate.
Happy for you too.
Convince yourself that it is indeed the solution.
Put back to auto and 80Mhz to confirm.
That's how you learn.
I changed the setting back to Automatic bandwidth few days ago , Until today I realised that the 5GHz band was very slow. Right now my 2.4GHz band is twice as fast as compared to my 5GHz band.
Slow is probably just due to perception? Distance from the router?
Your original issue was missing and dropping connection. Even Bluetooth got disconnected. Are these issues caused by the channel or bandwidth settings?
Do not need to waste time, just use wifi mesh to resolve wifi issue.
