I assume you're referring to the deflection coils, one running at about 
60 Hz and the other at 15.75 KHz.  Both frequencies are well below 2.4 
GHz.  Magnetic fields don't affect RF, at least not at any strength 
you're likely to encounter.  You're more likely to have problems with a 
microwave oven or cordless phone, which do operate in the same range as 
WiFi.
