Microwave interferes with wifi?

[RAMd®d]

The 2.4GHz band provides for the operation of a lot of devices including cordless phones, microwave ovens, and WiFi routers.

And of those (and other) devices can interfere with one's 2.4GHz wireless network.

good enough, then. we'll just cope. i just wanted to be sure the microwave wasn't leaking some sort of radiation death ray.

No, they're not.

"A microwave oven works by passing non-ionizing microwave radiation, usually at a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz (a wavelength of 12.24 centimetres (4.82 in)), through the food"

Noticed the same thing here. Listening to streamed music via Airport express over whole house audio and it cuts out when the microwave is running, but not reliably.

Why would you continue to use a microwave that is not reliable?
