I spent a number of years as a network engineer working with consumer microwave gear, most of which was in the 5.2-5.7 GHz range. There is plenty of this stuff around.
And I’ve seen what a poorly aligned backhaul can do to the wireless networks in the vicinity.
That said, I’m not committed to a specific reason it’s not working well, it’s just not. The point was that wifi is not a good option for me for some use cases given the apparent spectrum use here.
I think it’s probably a combination of factors since I live in a dense city. Radar is certainly a possible factor.
