will the magnetic field from magnet affect the antenna performance?

Hi all,

will the magnetic field from magnet affect the antenna performance?
say a PIFIA wifi antenna at 2.4GHz.

my point of view is the magnetic field is static and does not radiate in any frequency, so it wont affect the antenna.
so from antenna point of view we should just treat it as a piece of metal and stay away from antenna.
am i correct?

Yes, you are correct.

Electromagnetic waves (photons) are a different animal from magnetism. The situation you present does not seem like it has them interacting or interfering with each other.
