The other thing with routers is they are very directional from the antenna, so you can be right next to it and have terrible signal. Aiming the antenna can fix this, or re-positioning the router if the antenna is internal. That's why I suggested moving around a bit to test.

Yeah the app I'm using shows me that. Probably similar apps.
My cable modem doesn't have antennas. The only way I'd be able to aim signals probably would be making something out of foil and aim that at where I sit.
So I started doing the channel testing after the modem reset. My issues got worse, so I'll be contacting Shaw for that. The overall wifi speed is faster, but the crashing is longer too. Pretty sure the cable modem is the faulty point.
