Reason why this came to me. I recently was using a digital audio board in a room with 300 people/cellphones, police/fire/emt with radios and multiple wifi networks. My ipad refused to connect to the audio board. So this got me thinking if it was possible to have too much wireless clutter in the air. Added bonus if anyone can explain how to avoid this problem but understanding if and how it happens is most important. Thanks!

As others have said – definitely. And if you’re setting up your own home system, checking what channels your neighbours are talking on, and how loudly, is a sensible part of configuring your wifi. There are scanner apps out there that will tell you what channels are in use locally, and how strong the signals are. Ideally, obviously, you want to be on something with as little competition as possible.
Bonus answer on how to avoid this problem. If all you can use is wi-fi, you can’t. Anticipating the problem decades ago telecom regulators worldwide designated 470-800 MHz where TV channels broadcast for onstage wireless microphones. A few unused TV channels are available everywhere worldwide. Due to the recent reduction of spectrum for TV channels in the US the FCC even allocated one unused channel exclusively for wireless microphones. Basically the solution to the problem is to use frequencies either lightly used or allocated exclusively for professional wireless microphones.
