I was throwing a hissy fit because my internet stopped working. It was so annoying because the computer upstairs was working fine. I tried different browsers, disabling/enabling the NIC, rebooting. I was about to start slitting wrists.

Then the microwaved finished heating up my mac & cheese.

I'm such an idiot

Ahahahahaha, oh damn, I feel your pain man.. My steering wheel bugs out anytime the microwave is going. Really sucks when you're in a 24 hour team race online.

Enjoy your mac & cheese

lol, nah. I'm using wireless from my laptop. The microwave was disrupting it, but I was going crazy because I couldn't figure it out. When the microwave dinged, I had to laugh because I was getting so riled up. It was just a funny thought I wanted to share.

For those of you confused...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference_at_2.4_GHz

The #1 culprits of the 2.4GHz range (the range most routers run in) is microwaves and cordless phones.

I think I fixed my problem on my 2WIRE router by going to the settings configuration and upping the Power or whatever it was from 8 to 10.

I got a new router anyways. U-Verse is keeping me happy at the moment; no problems as of yet.

My phone used to disrupt my wireless internet (not on dial-up, of course) and it was such a pain in the ass. Wasn't aware a microwave could do the same.

Never knew that
The microwave is far away from my PC...what's the range of the microwave's disruption powers?

At first I thought the moral of the story was that your mac n cheese was so good you felt like an idiot for being mad about your internet.

Set your router to the 5Ghz band.
Profit!

I know why i rather have a 20m long cable to my router than rely on any wifi, it's just not reliable enough

I notice it every time with my android: When i'm lying in bed turned to the right, i have 100% signal, when i turn to the left, the connection breaks down to 0%. I sometimes wish they'd somehow manage to add ethernet ports to mobile phones :p

I have a friend who used to get disconnected from WoW and we instantly knew that someone used the microwave in his house. Fun stuff :D

I remember when our cordless phones worked on the same band as our router, man it sucked.
It was during my FPS days, so I'd d/c during matches all the time.

Best response in the thread.

Yes, even better than the explanation.
