In the house we have the main Sky router, the Sky Q silver box, 2 miniboxes, and a Sky extender as well. We seem to get random wireless drop outs around the house on a regular basis, to the point where I can't ping the router, e.g.

For an example of what seems to be happening. It causes drop-outs on the miniboxes as well as various smart devices to stop responding etc. Can be very frustrating when you're asking Google Home to turn off the lights... (I know, first world problems!).
When I use the Apple airport utility, my wireless SSID is being broadcast by all of the separate Sky devices, but at least on the 2.4Ghz version there are lots of different channels being used - e.g. 1, 6, 11. Shouldn't they all be broadcasting the SSID on the same channel?
Anything I should be looking out for to try next to fix this issue?
