Here are a few relevant points. I'm wondering why there is such a difference between radios. Loudest neighbor is -64.

 

sh int wifi0 - High Collision

Noise Floor -95

CRC error rate 0.00%

sh int wifi0 _count

42% rx CRC rate

 

sh int wifi1 - Good

Noise Floor -95

CRC error rate 0.00%

sh int wifi1 _count

0% rx CRC rate

2.4GHz is more susceptible to interference for a few reasons. Primarily there are only 3 non overlapping channels (1,6,11), so the AP doesn't have much to choose from. Certain environments are worse than others, such as multi tenanted buildings as you'll find a lot of other APs not just your own using the same channel. APs aren't the only issue, mobile hotspots will pop up on the 2.4GHz, then you also have other devices such as bluetooth and also microwaves using this. Power levels can also inadvertently cause CRC errors due to a hidden node issue along with multipath.

5GHz is still susceptible to interference but you have many more channels to choose from, hence you're more likely to be able to move away from the interference source.

 

Is that -64 neighbor on the same channel as the AP you were looking at?

I'm keeping an eye out for this and seeing it in several locations. As per the standard line, CRC errors are mainly environmental. Is 2.4Ghz more susceptible to this problem or is 5Ghz equally effected?
