For devices where connectivity is more important, switch them from 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz to avoid microwave interference.

Other than phones and laptops (i.e. "real computers"), most devices only support 2.4, no? I can't recall the last time I set up a non-computer device that didn't say "make sure you're using a 2.4GHz network"...
(I imagine it's a much lower cost to only handle 2.4GHz?)
I was curious so checked my network. I've got 21 things on 2.4 and 16 things on 5.
The 16 are 4 computers (2 Macs, a Surface Pro 4, and an RPi 4), 3 mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), 3 media devices (Fire TV, Nintendo Switch, and Kindle Oasis), one smart plug, a Brother printer, 3 smart speakers (Google Home Mini, two Echos), and an EV charger.
