You can easily build a jammer for 100mHz to 1gHz using an old tv flyback transformer and a wooden disk with carbon nodules (removed from #1 pencils) which are embedded into the wheel. Apply voltage, spin the wheel and broadband jamming occurs due to HV Arc effect. Used for TEMPEST defense in 1950's - 1970's.

Fun fact :
ALL analog televisions in history convert the channel frequency to a thing callled "CHANNEL ONE".
For example... channel 2 is divided down to become Channel one, then decoded to screen.
For example... channel 6 is divided down to become Channel one, then decoded to screen.
IF A BROKEN ANALOG TV does not fully divide a frequency fully to "channel one" and instead creates harmonics that interfere with Wifi... then WIFI can indeed get messed up.
in 1946, Channel 1 TV was moved to 44–50 MHz, and is the internal band used by a receiver to downshift into. Internally used in TVs since 1948.
channels above channel 1 :

chances are they are watching a legacy UHF channel and it upshifted harmonics into a signal interfering with a repeater uplink to a wifi distribution network
