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.
Edit: Jamming Jamming is different. At that point use Ethernet
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.
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.
