May try changing channel but I can’t see the significance as pi4 was working with libreelec.
Sometimes changing the channel is beneficial when neighboring wifi setups are on similar or close by channels. Something you can check using a wifi analyzer apps on your mobile phone.
Are you referring to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz connections? I have different experiences with wifi using LibreELEC. My 'generic' Intel box with a Wifi/BT card works like crap using 5Ghz to my TP-Link range extender. With 2,4Ghz it's okayish. Both my RPi4's however seem to be quite happy with the TP-Link device, and barely have any issues.
Everyone's wireless situation is different, and 5Ghz connections are even more susceptible to outside interference. I don't know about the RPi4 8GB needing more power, I wouldn't think that single extra memory bank would be so power-hungry.
