The Koda LED 46" Linkable Shop Light with Motion Sensor and Remote uses 5.8GHz technology for the motion sensor. This signal may interfere with some Wi-Fi channels depending on your router's configuration.
To resolve the issue, try restarting your Wi-Fi router, either by unplugging for 10 seconds then plugging it back in, or by restarting it within the router's settings. By restarting your Wi-Fi router, it will force the router to search for a new channel that doesn’t have interference from the shop light.
If the problem persists, try logging in to your Wi-Fi router's configuration settings to manually change the Wi-Fi channel being used. Choose any channel other than a value between 149 to 165. All other channels should allow your Wi-Fi router to work without any interference from the shop light.
If the problem persists, please contact Koda Customer Support at info@kodabuilt.com or call us at 1-866-294-9244, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm PT.

This was exactly the information I needed. I have three of these shop lights. I installed two right away and the third sat in a box for a couple years. The first two didn't cause any problem but the third one cause significant problems with my wifi connection.
The TP Link Router with Smart Connect enabled selects exactly channels 149 to 165 and doesn't allow you to turn off the auto select without disabling Smart Connect. After changing the channels used, I'm not having any wifi problems at all now.
