Root-cause analysis

Diagnosed cause

Severe airtime contention from co-channel interference

RCA confidence79%

Above the 70% threshold — a fix can be pre-formed.

Reasoning

Channel utilization is saturated with an elevated retry rate, the classic co-channel interference signature. An RF channel rebalance should relieve it.

Needs human triage

Either RCA confidence is below the 70% threshold or there is no safe automated fix for this device, so no fix has been pre-formed. Review the evidence and handle it manually.

Recommended steps

1.Move the device closer to the access point or remove obstructions.
2.Change the Wi-Fi channel in the router admin (try 1/6/11 on 2.4GHz, a clear 5GHz channel).
3.Check for interference from neighboring networks or microwaves/baby monitors.
