i have 15 speakers scattered throughout my home. i have 5 wifi 6e points (google wifi 6e pro), star pattern spread out perfectly. i had netgear. when i had control of the per-device preference of telling the router to only use 5ghz of X device... was how i solved this mega annoying chromecasting of music to my 'full house' speaker group. when i had my netgear router i would just tell the router to always put that device on 5ghz. or the other way, by having the bands split i could tell that device to use the 5ghz band. i understand this is mesh. i understand that QoS and what the comingling of the signals and letting the router do it... however. it should then be smart enough to put the fu!@#ing google devices on at least 5ghz when they are actively being streamed too.
for instance, right now i have them all playing but 1 speaker is stuttering in the bathroom, which is really near the basement router access point... while every other speaker is playing clear.. the speaker having the issue is always random it seems, and usually intermittent. sometimes its many speakers, sometimes it plays flawlessly... this is really silly behavior that i already had solved....
please make google QoS smarter.. or give me dang choice in the wifi device settings to choose a preferred band for a device and this would be solved.
