Wifi settings

 Beacon interval - set to maximum to save bandwith and increase battery life.
If you have more Acces Points in the location and need to switch between then lower it, so it will swich faster and not lose the connection.
Also remove other saved networks, as the clients will connect to AP's with lower becon.

DTIM stands for Delivery traffic indication map or message
DTIM - set to maximum for battery save. 

Wifi 5 - ac - 80Mhz channels

Main difference in speed is how many  TX/RX antenas 1x1 or 2x2.
1x1 is 433 Mhz 2x2 is double 866 Mhz. Most mobile devices only have 2x2.

TP-Link Archer C6
5 GHz: 867 Mbps (802.11ac) - means it has 2x2 

Clients example:
Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 - TX/RX Streams 2x2 - 866 Mbps max speed
Intel® Wireless-AC 3165 - Antena 1x1 - 433 Mbps max speed

Wifi 6 - ax  - 960 Mbps only 10% increase in speed vs ac.
Brings 160Mhz channels - but there are only 2 channels in the 5Ghz band
Wifi 6e - ax -  6Ghz band - add much more new bands. So now we can use 160Mhz and get double the speed 1920 Mbps if router supports.

Wifi 7 - be - 320Mhz with even more speed, 3x the ac 866 Mbps = 2598 Mbps

Most router makers dont give the sprecs that really matter directly.
