Hypothetically, near instantly. Realistically, I don’t think someone is going to bother to triangulate a random burst in the 2.4 and 5ghz bands, but someone logging radio traffic for shits and giggles would certainly notice 5-10 minutes bursts of noise early in the mornings saturating the band (you’d need to do the whole band as modern WiFi will channel hop for the best signal).

There are radio nerds out there who are extremely interested in RF noise and will absolutely triangulate and report a signal jammer.

How much time does one need to triangulate a signal these days? Asking for a friend
