Have you checked if the WiFi in your area is congested? Tried changing the WiFi channel?

Are any other devices using your router?

Might be worth considering a 6E router as they are on a less congested band, and have higher bandwidth.

i use a link cable mate wifi signal keeps fluctuating to much.

these things are usually down to a damaged cable, dirty usb ports or some EMI
the easiest thing to test I believe (since the MQ Link cable is basically a long USB type-c cable) is swap the link cable out for a short one from another device and see what happens

Yep, almost certainly a damaged cable. I'm on my third cable. (Thankfully I could replace my last one free as it had a lifetime warranty)

Have you set the bitrate because if it's too high, I've seen mine disconnect.

It's a good idea to use a short right-angle USB-C cable extender to save wear and tear on the USB port.
