Maybe. Although switching wifi router into something like 802.11b-only or a-only mode and selecting a fixed least busy channel might be a better long term solution, as USB3 isn't the only source of EMI.

Why exactly do you recommend archaic WiFi standards that are long gone?

It's a simple way I know that significantly improves reliability of wifi in most circumstances.

I challenge that 802.11b is more reliable than 802.11n, which offers MIMO. But even if that was true, the speeds of 802.11b are abysmal for todays standards.
