| Aug 28, 2013 at 22:36 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | I'd wager it doesn't affect your router. Rather, it affects the computers that are connected to it -- the RFI prevents them from cleanly receiving the router signal. And it need not be due to the units operating at nearly the same frequency -- our microwave causes TV interference in both VHF and UHF bands. (I'd bet that most microwaves emit far more "normal" RFI -- from the power supply, etc -- than they do microwave "leakage".) | |

| Aug 28, 2013 at 8:21 | comment | added | Ohlin | When the micro is turned on all devices loose connection completely, as when you're out of reach of the router. | |

Can you confirm that it is wireless which is the problem? E.g. use a wired cable and power on microwave. Does it keep working? Can you ping your router when the microwave is on (over wireless). Do you get a lot less signal when you turn the m.w. on (check with things like inSIDDer)
