So this really bizarre problem just started happening today and I was wondering if people could possibly help diagnose or solve it.
I am currently using a TP Link D2 AC750 router in 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneous mode, and this is situated near several media devices that are connected to a monitor via an HDMI switch box. Normally all of these work perfectly together however starting from today a strange problem arose that won't go away. If any of the media devices are active and sending a video signal to my monitor, the 5GHz network gets knocked out immediately. While it still shows as being active in the router's config page, none of my devices are able to detect it at all. As soon as I turn off whatever's connected to the monitor, the 5GHz network instantly re-appears and is functional again. The 2.4GHz network is unaffected entirely.
The three media devices are a Nintendo Switch, an Apple TV (4th generation), and PS4. I have tried removing the HDMi switch box and connecting these devices individually to the monitor, and all three can still knock out the 5GHz network even when the other two are completely disconnected and the HDMI switch removed. Rebooting the router does not fix the issue. If I connect my laptop (situated 1m away from the router) via HDMI, it does not affect wireless signals.
I have not changed the software nor the hardware configurations of this setup, and this problem seems to have just started spontaneously. How is this even possible?
