Cellular communicator placement beat my WiFi drop issue on a 3 story

Had a job in Cleveland where the panel kept losing signal every night around 9pm. Checked everything, voltage, antennas, even swapped the SIM. Turns out the homeowner's new router was right beside the cellular unit and it was booting them off the network. Moved the communicator 12 feet away to the stairwell wall and it's been rock solid for 2 weeks now. Anyone else run into interference from household electronics on LTE or 5G units? I'm thinking about carrying a cheap spectrum analyzer on bigger jobs from now on.

Man, that router interference thing is real. I had one where the LTE unit sat right next to a smart TV and the signal dropped every time they fired up Netflix. Mounted it on the opposite wall and never got another call about it.
