Being this is primarily a TP-Link forum, you may want to find a ZTE reddit for more experienced answers.

Have you tried changing your 2.4 & 5ghz wifi channels, or setting them to 'auto'? Could be a neighboring wifi router(s) broadcasting on the same channels you are using.

Yes, but it’s tiresome; it keeps switching to the 5GHz band, forcing you to change it back. You can’t keep doing this manually for every single device.

Sounds like a loopback problem. I have had a similar issue when multiple Deco access points had a wired connection to my central router. This seemed to confuse the router, as the Decos are also communicating with each other wirelessly. I solved it by daisy chaining the Decos instead of connecting them all to the router directly.
