Seen that with an elevator running. As soon as the elevator moved, wifi & BT died.
The problem was that the elevator was older than wifi and BT, so there was no warranty or something they could just call on. I told them to still get it fixed, as the local equivalent of the FCC is known not be be that nice when something is creating problems on the spectrum.
My neighbor’s poorly shielded microwave would knock out our WiFi. Because microwaves are in the 2.4GHz range, which is also the same range as older WiFi. Except that a microwave operates with several thousand times more power than WiFi, so it essentially acts as a jammer when it’s not shielded well.
Figuring that out took me fucking ages. I eventually heard her microwave beep through the shared wall, right as my WiFi came back online.

Ours did that for WiFi. I knew when my wife was warming something in the Microwave, by her complaints about her streaming video dropping
That used to happen at a friend’s house, the microwave would shut down their WiFi.
Yep, microwaves are nasty in that regard.
It’s truly a challenge when even your elevator is on the spectrum.
