Last night my WiFi network was absolutely fine. All my devices were happily connecting to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks as they needed. This morning all the 2.4Ghz devices have been kicked off and can’t reconnect. Looking at the channel usage, the 2.4Ghz spectrum is completely utilised with 99% interference.

Nothing has changed overnight so I’m left with the question - why has this happened? And is there anything I can do to fix it?
 
Use a WiFi analyzer app on the phone to see if maybe a neighbour has set up a noisy WiFi network. Another possible issue is if an electrical device is leaking interferences too, microwaves for example also uses the 2.4GHz spectrum and can affect WiFi.
 
The RF is a public space :cry:

Look for data interference if not seen then it will be spectrum use and you would need a spectrum adapter to locate it if local to your house!
 
Do you have any devices that are 2.4GHz-only? Turn 2.4 off on your main SSID and make a new one for 2.4GHz devices.
