I’m definitely not talking about putting aluminium foil inside the microwave because that’s stupid and dangerous.
I’m wondering if you cover the microwave in aluminium to lessen interfere or block interference by blocking the interfering signal with aluminium foil.
I can’t move my microwave because I already moved it from a spot before that made the door inconvenient to open and hard to grab food from and I live in a rental house so can’t move the jack
If it is leaking enough to effect wifi then you really should get a new unit if you could.
I wouldn’t cover it in foil as that will block the air intakes from cooling the unit.
What’s the purpose for this? How often are you microwaving that you’re concerned about interference? Have you actually noticed a measurable drop in speeds when microwaving?
OP wants to protect the microwave and the food therein from the wifi signal.
Now that’s big brain
My first thought is its not the microwave unless they’re multitasking TV dinners and League of Legends a few times each evening.
I just got this hunch it’s something like clogged channels or something, but OP thinks a microwave just sitting there is the issue. But that seems just as unusual.
Also microwaves are only 2.4ghz. Any modern device should have a strong 5ghz connection in what I assume is a cramped apartment.
5ghz also has less interference problems, but it’s not immune.
Important questions
Switch to 5ghz WiFi, microwaves wreak havoc on 2.4ghz
Download a wifi analyzer app.
It’ll let you know which channels your microwaves 2.4ghz occupies. Google how to change your wifi to 5 GHz from 2.4. if not supported, just make sure whatever channel 2.4 vhz you’re on is nott the same as microwave
No. It looks too silly. Other than that, there’s no problem.
However, if your micronuker is interfering that much, you should get a new one.
No
