A single-channel bandpass filter will help most poor-to-middling receivers by protecting it from overloading from the off-channel signals that the cheap receiver front-end would otherwise let come barging in, desensitizing the receiver and reducing the signal-to-noise ratio.

For what it's worth, I had a super noisy Wi-Fi noise environment
(hundreds of clients, dozens of APs, little to no channel
coordination, etc) and got a handle on the situation by putting these
band pass filters

I got several of each, but I ended up using channel 1 mostly.  When I
put that puppy in, I got like 40 dB less noise on the channels I
didn't want, and I also could not even hear other APs when I moved the
radio to channels 2-11 (there is that much isolation in the filter).

Now throughput is much smoother and higher.  Before I put these in,
bandwidth would be slow and come in spurts (as evidenced by various
throughput tools like iperf and online speed tests).
