I put my TV and consoles on their own network, and my video calls stopped freezing
Separating devices wasn’t actually the fix.
The author experienced frequent stutters during video calls due to their internet connection, which was later identified as the source of the issue. Despite having a fast internet plan, the TV and PS5 devices were consuming large amounts of bandwidth during their simultaneous use. After moving these devices to a dedicated network, the stutters persisted.
The author then turned to Quality of Service (QoS) and smart queue management (SQM) features on their router, which resolved the issue. By prioritizing traffic and managing the router's data handling, the video calls no longer experienced freezing mid-sentence, and other tasks continued smoothly.
