most likely cause is electrical interference, Christmas lights? might not even be yours! Could even be a christmas tree ( I am not kidding )
Other causes could be congested wifi channels. If you can do a wifi scan to find out which other wifis are broadcasting in your home . Maybe some other device is broadcasting on the same or an adhjacent channel.
Another common cause of interference are Wi fi Homeplugs which when a few years old can cause all kinds of problems .
Post your findings and other may suggest additional checks

I use the Android app WiFi Analyser on my phone to monitor networks.
Are you using a Hub One? If so log into it and in the Advanced Settings you will find the option to separate the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. Identify the 5GHz channel by adding something like -5 to the name. If your subject equipment is capable of 5GHz then rescan and select that. Good luck.
