During the past two years, the "saturation" issues I have seen have never been shown to be due to WiFi bandwidth limitations. In every case where I watched a dropped-packet problem being fixed by reducing camera frame rate and/or pixel count, it was because the computer running the Driver Station program was unable to keep up with the incoming packets. The packets themselves were obviously being delivered just fine by the network.

In my experience, the CPU usage of the Driver Station computer is more important to the performance of the robot than the bandwidth usage of the WiFi network.
