I’d also force the 2.4 GHz band to 20 MHz channel width; many baby cams get flaky on 40 MHz. If you’re on mesh or multiple APs dial back 2.4 transmit power and disable roaming or steering so it sticks to one node. Give the monitor a DHCP reservation, and if your router allows it, disable Wi-Fi 6 features on 2.4 like OFDMA or TWT, which can confuse older radios.

Given your faucet and pressure a countertop diverter filter is the least annoying and the most useful for cooking and coffee. You get full flow when you want it, then flip the little knob to send water through the filter for filling a kettle or pot, no wrestling with a stubby spout. Carbon block cartridges knock down chlorine and off tastes while leaving minerals that help coffee extraction which, yeah... big difference in the cup. Expect to swap the cartridge every six to eight months depending on how much you cook and brew, or sooner if the flow slows or the chlorine smell creeps back.
