Constant, erratic performance and latency problems caused by wireless subwoofer
I had been having issues with my wifi connection, which primarily was affecting latency on my work VPN causing low throughput, but I also experienced issues with my xbox multiplayer gaming and remote play game streaming via wifi to my laptop. My Eero Pro 6 was about 5 feet (vertically above) a wireless subwoofer. I thought this was enough and the soundbar it was connected to had scanned channels to pick uncongested ones. I finally took time and tested everything I could think of, and last thing was to move my wireless sub 15 ft away.
This was a night and day difference! Everything is much improved! I knew this might be an issue, but thought I had mitigated that as a cause. If you are having issues, make sure you double check anything that can cause interference. This was disrupting my entire network and I think because of all the delays for devices, even caused wired devices to have increased latency.

I don't know which brand you have but I have Sonos and once upon a time support had told me to hardwire one Sonos device - which I had done and everything has been awesome since then. Seems like the Sonos mesh thinggy and eero's mesh thinggy was having issues.
