Your wifi router has a small antenna, probably no more than 10cm long. Your phone’s wifi antenna is even smaller. There’s also a lot of interference from hundreds of other devices that are also using wifi.

Meanwhile, deep space probes are listened to by huge antennas, several meters wide, and they operate on frequencies that have little interference.
