That wifi jammer worry I had for a job in Cleveland turned out to be real
I was putting in a system for a jewelry store downtown and the owner kept saying their old alarm would go offline at random times. Figured it was just bad equipment until my tester showed a steady signal drop right at noon every day for 20 minutes. Anyone else run into interference from nearby businesses or devices that made you rethink your install approach?

Read somewhere that microwave ovens can mess with nearby WiFi signals surprisingly bad.

That specific time slot interference is a classic sign of a timer-based device nearby, like a store's security system check or a restaurant's wireless timer for their cooking equipment. It just goes to show how these invisible Signals are getting CROWDED everywhere, even in places you'd never think about like a jewelry store in Cleveland. Makes you wonder how much of our daily tech hiccups are just everyday gadgets stepping on each other's toes.
