Not true. If the WiFi channels are saturated, it doesn't matter what your IP/subnet you are. You are competing with data trying to use the same pipe (channel) to go somewhere else.

What you are saying is true if you had hard wire and a switch. The switch can isolate sub-nets to maximize data throughput within the sub-net.

WiFi is like a shared wire. Nothing you can do if the wire is saturated.
