Just spotted a trend in my route that's messing with signal strength

On my mail run, I keep noticing tons of houses adding extra wifi boosters and smart gadgets lately. It clicked after a job where door sensors went off randomly all the time. We found out the homeowner put a new gaming router right by the alarm brain. The signals from it were totally blocking our wireless comms. Had to move the whole panel to a closet and add some ferrite clips on the wires. Now I make it a point to scan for other electronics during the walkthrough. If you skip this step, you could end up with noisy systems and pissed off customers. It's an easy check that saves a lot of hassle down the road.

Ran into the same thing last month. My neighbor's new mesh network was jamming my garage door opener until we figured it out. Those little signals cause big headaches sometimes.

Call me skeptical, but is it really that serious?
