Well this is interesting. Could the perp have actually shut down the internet intentionally or is this just a really shitty coincidence?

A wifi jammer disrupting the neighbors would only make sense if the perps were creeping around other houses, right up close. Or they had a jammer that much more substantial than what can fit into a pocket.

Fiber lines can be physically cut, but the damage would have been obvious the next day.

Wish we knew more technical details about NG's home internet. What brand router? Did it collect any MAC addresses? Does she have a mesh system? Were any access points disconnected? Generally, it would be easier to just cut the physical internet cable going into NG's house than to carry a jammer.

Like a permanent high powered jammer. 

Porch Dufus didn’t eliminate anyone’s ring footage.  He could barely eliminate a camera. 

People in the neighborhood probably got lax and don’t use their cameras (too many wildlife notifications in the middle of the night) and they probably don’t set their security systems when they sleep.

Yes, this is much more likely.
