Ten years ago i had a pocket jammer that whacked every consumer radio frequency within 50 feet.
Not hard to do when you dont care about regs and laws.

Most likely 2.5g WiFi deauth. 5g fixes it and the companies just put 2.5g chips that are affected by this. Not that hard to use 5g chips.

Was it a spark gap jammer? Hehe

Lol, right? And that’s something you can easily build.
It was a cheap thing from china, bought mostly as a curiosity. Kept the battery out once I figured out what it could do.

5ghz doesn’t fix deliberate jamming. There’s just more channels available for a device to use. Find the channel the AP is on and start blasting away at that frequency and you’re golden. Bonus since 5ghz has a shorter range than 2.4 so with a sufficient antenna and power (because fuck legality if you’re already stealing shit).
