Well, there are certainly no other drones, of any sort, in my area. At least I've never seen any. Pretty much everybody in this condo development has home WiFi, but the drone was hundreds of feet away from any home when it displayed the "strong aircraft interference" messages.
And I never, in dozens of previous flights in this exact same area, saw that error message before I did the firmware upgrade a couple of days ago.

The 'Strong Interference' message has nothing to do with magnetic interference, or power lines. The frequency band our aircraft operate on is a world-wide unregulated band populated by millions of low-power devices, and WiFi is one of the major culprits.
As you say, 'the drone was hundreds of feet away from any home when it displayed the "strong aircraft interference" messages.' Yes, but the aircraft would have been receiving the signal from your RC unit as well as the WiFi signals from many homes at equal distance as from you. As such, it cannot tell which signal is the correct one. The best solution in this situation is to get yourself closer to the aircraft, such that your RC unit's signal is stronger than any nearby WiFi node.
