My wife keeps stealing my Wi-fi, whenever she does her zoom meetings which includes using dropbox to send and receive large files, it seems tells every other device in the home to get rekt, I have no internet access on my phone on either 2.4 or 5Ghz band, my CCTV dies and wont reconnect until she is done talking k@k or sending and receiving files.

Yes I know my Cctv should be wired, it's a bit tricky to do due to it's position, I have even resorted to moving the router to a few different positions to see if it helps, nope! Should I just put a limit on this woman's device or is something else going on here?

Router is the Xiaomi AC3200.

Line is 200/200.

Why not get a switch, route the internet into it, then get an AP and set it's bandwidth limit, and she uses this?
 
200/200 - No way is she using all that Bandwidth with just a Zoom video meeting and Dropbox uploads.

You have other issues. Bandwidth is not one of them.

Get a proper cabled network for your house.

WiFi is for phones and tablets.
 
Check your router for Wifi whitelist and black list, white list the devices you want on the wifi, the rest wont be able to connect.
 
Not sure about the router but it there not a QoS setting in it so you can set a max download and upload per device
