I experience WiFi drops when my microwave is being used. I’ve tried different routers and microwaves but bandwidth goes to almost zero when the microwave is on and immediately comes back when it stops - like clockwork.

I asked the sales guy at ABC Warehouse if they had a “wifi safe microwave” - should’ve seen the look I got!

Plug the microwave through a protected power strip. That might isolate it. Or build a Faraday cage. LOL.

The microwave oven leaks on the 2.4GHz frequency, which is probably the same frequency of your Wi-Fi wAP and devices. If you could use the 5GHz spectrum your problem with the microwave interference would go away.

In that case, what exposure might you be subject to when close by the operating unit? Soft tissue such as the cornea of the eye would be most at risk.
