Zigbee can affect wifi

Interesting experiment. It seems edge channels are worst then center ones:

channels 22 and 23 are better than 21 and 24

Channel 26 works great for me, so i will stick with it.

Very old post from @mike.maxwell but he mentioned that many devices don't like channel 26.

SmartThings Water Leak Sensor

st sensors seem to love 14, 17 should be good, 26 doesn’t work with a fair number of devices. I spend a good half day doinking with my three WIFI AP channels, the zigbee channel on hubitat, thinking i was smarter than the radio. Finally I let the hub decide which channel to use, and it did a better job than I did…

Maybe this has changed in almost 5 years but wanted to through this out there.

I guess I'm lucky all my devices are fine with it

Please tell me more about this. Thought it was best to have APs on different channels. I have 3 Unifi APs all on different channels.

My bad... I have them on 1, 6, and 11. Zigbee on 20 and hue zigbee on 25. Not enough caffiene this morning,.
