This is somewhat a follow up question to my previous question that turned out to be related to this issue.

It seems that for some devices (e.g., the Microsoft Surface Pro 4), connecting a USB3 device can cause interference with 2.4GHz WiFi connections.

How can I avoid this interference? Ideally without replacing the hardware (e.g., using a USB2 hard drive or a 5GHz router both both could Avoid the problem).

If speed is not an issue a simple solution is to use a connection that limits the USB device to USB2 (or lower), e.g., a hub or a cable that does not support USB3 yet.

Simple: wrap your USB device, the circuitry or cover including the cable in tin foil or similar signal shielding
