Wi-Fi thief

I believe photos of wife is in order for us to choose the correct course of action.
 
It is called a Wifi load balancing router. The TP-Link load balance Broadband router can load balance so that other stuff don't get dropped on the network and some models allow for priority devices meaning it will slow down everything else to keep the priority device stable. They go for R1.22k depending what model you get some go for like R5k and up.

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.

Try not being a kuk

Just plug yourself, if its performing at 200/200 then there should be no issue.
Sounds like wifi congestion

probably save a bit of cash by understanding the problem first.
 
Yup, WiFi is half duplex. If you don't have decent kit, then any high-volume usage is going to totally destroy the bandwidth for any other devices on the same radio.
And uploading files with dropbox and a presumably high tcp send window is going to smack those photons.
 
Get your wife a nice long ... cat5e/6 network cable to connect her computer to the router. That should keep her from hogging all of the wi-fi bandwidth and the connection will be faster for her as well when using her computer for vidcons and the like.
Powerline options are also available if distance or layout is a problem. (not to be confused with Power over Ethernet (POE), which is something completely different)

Basic rule of thumb for optimal experience: any stationary equipment with a network port (including laptops with high data throughput) gets connected via cable and mobile devices or other devices without ethernet ports go on wi-fi.
 
im gonna suggest listening to the okes that say test your interwebs. 200/200 should not be this problemtic
