For me turning off 5GHz WiFi did the trick. Did a factory reset, but still had a lot of wake time on Android OS. Not til I turned off my 5GHz wifi connection and went back to 2.4GHz did I see a noticeable improvement.

Do you have WiFi Assistant enabled? Or is it built into the final version of Nougat? Could be the assistant is in control of selecting the best frequency band per network.How does one turn off 5GHz WiFi? I cannot find in any WiFi settings how to do that.

The option to select 2.5 or 5 used to be under Settings > WiFi > Advanced > Frequency band, I think. But it's no longer available on my N6 either (which is running DP5 with WiFi Asst enabled).
It's not an app; it was rolled out as part of an update to Connectivity Services. The toggle lives under Settings > Google > Networking. But if you don't got it, you don't got it.

Thanks for any help! (Note that I am on a 5X running 7.0)
I think he means turning it off on his WiFi network, not from the phone.
