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.
Wireless cards w/o good pre-selectivity, which is all the ones we can
get these days because of the pricing, WILL be interfered with by a
leaky microwave, they are only about 5% different in operating
frequency. Figuraively speaking, that microwave is 80 to 100 db louder
than the wifi radio. To design a wifi radio front end that would
reliably reject the much "louder" microwave, would occupy 20x the
cubic volume of todays wifi insert card that plugs into wannabe
versions of the pi, or any number of 3d printer controllers and would
likely cost close to 20x the cost of that postage stamp sized card.
And you are arguing with a broadcast engineer whose 1st phone dates
from 63 years ago. Yes, I've been there, and done that.

We have color tv and stereo FM nowadays. And fax machines.
AS if you think I don't know that. I've converted several tv
transmitters to work in this new thing called hidef. Do you have a
C.E.T. to go with your know it all certificate? I am also a Certified
Electronics Technician. We teach EE's what they didn't learn in school.
Getting our hands dirty fixing their mistakes.
I never claimed that /was/ the OP's problem, just suggesting a
possibility to be investigated. Its called thinking outside the box.
Apparently something you rarely do.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
