We have an automatic garage door, lots of very strong wifi and my car always opens from the fob in the garage.

Locked or open what does it matter if you have keyless go, they don't need the keys to drive away

With keyless they need the key within a metre of the car to open it and actually inside the car to start it.
Or they use a booster device to amplify the signal of the key outside of that range.
That's why a lot of people either turn off keyless or keep the keys in a Faraday bag or metal tin etc to block any signals.

WiFi hubs and routers will not interfere with the fob or the car.
The frequencies used are well over 3 times higher than the key fobs.
