New condo building's WiFi is wrecking my avionics bench tests

I've been trying to calibrate some old nav units in my home workshop. But the new condo complex going up next door has super strong WiFi. It's creating so much EMI that my readings are all over the place. Earlier this week, I spent hours on a VOR indicator that kept drifting because of it. I tried shielding with foil, but it's a temporary fix at best. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of local interference? I'm at my wit's end and might have to move my setup.

Have you looked into building a proper shielded box? I read that foil often fails against strong nearby WiFi sources. A real Faraday cage might be your only permanent solution.

WiFi is just everyday signals, not some spy movie.
