2.4 GHz Wifi Extremely Slow Since Installation of Smart Home Devices

Recently, I began the conversion of my house to a smart home with different things, such as wifi controlled lights, outlets, etc. 7 devices are constantly connected at all times, while all of the high end / high speed devices are connected to the 5GHz channel. When people come over, they connect to whatever channel seems to be available on their device. For some reason, even though a max of roughly 10 devices are connected on the 2.4 GHz channel, it speed tests around 0.65 mbps. Even if some device was limiting the router to G speeds, there is no reason the router should be this slow. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be? I am currently using a Linksys WRT1200AC with stock firmware, and the channel is set up to be the least crowded one in the area. The router is also connected to 600/50 internet, and the speedtests were being done in the same room as the router. Thanks!
