Similar question - have a TP Link AC1200 in my desktop which is in the living room, with about 5m distance and one door and one (plasterboard) wall in between it and the Hyperoptic router (the standard ZTE one they give out)/access point. I recently moved the desktop further from the router by about 1.5m and put a sofa in between, and the connectivity from the 5GHz dropped off a cliff, notwithstanding an average 90% signal strength (whatever that means) according to the wifi sniffer I have, and no other networks close to the channel I've chosen. Have had to default to the slower 2.4GHz network, which is also not that great.
Does one sofa and 1.5m physically between the router and the wifi card make that much of a difference, or is there no causal link and I should be looking elsewhere for the problem? The PC tower was knocked over in the process of moving, but everything is still functioning so I figured no harm done..
