Smart Plug randomly stops communicating with network.

Smart Plug randomly stops communicating with network.  
I have Smart Life Amysen Smart Plugs on 2.4 Ghz wifi network that stops responding to Alexa or the Smart Life app.  They are running the most current firmware.
I live in an apartment in NYC with many broadcasting SSID's.  My apartment is only 900 sq/ft with limited obstructions.  

I do see the devices on my wifi even when they are not communicating.  They are ranging from -50 to -70 db
My router does show this event:
WiFi Interface [wl1] set to Channel 149 (Side-Band Channel:N/A) - Reason:INTERFERENCE

I purchased the Smart Plugs from Amazon and not finding any support pages for this product.

Are you referring to the wifi router or the smart device?

Edit: I disabled the 5 Ghz  SSID and I see a stable environment.  The jury is still out, but things are looking better.
