  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).

  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.

      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.
