Another possibility is a leaky microwave oven in the vicinity
This is an urban legend and an excuse I was using when I was in tech
support.
It's real. Try it yourself - run iperf for 2 minutes, display the
bandwidth report every second and then start the microwave for 1
minute.
I get the thruput cut in half or or more when the microwave is on.
Which is an improvement on the previous microwave which used to kill a
wireless connection. (which was super annoying when the wife was doing
work-from-home & I wasn't allowed to use the microwave _at_all_ during
the day. I suspect that's the reason she got a toaster oven)
Is it fairly well-known that microwave ovens interfere the most on channel 11?
I just tried linssid again and there's a bunch of APs on channel 1 &
6, one on channel 2 and two on channel 8. Nothing on channel 11.
