Anyone else have this problem?

Everytime I use the microwave, my wifi connection goes down temporarily and then corms back a few minutes later. Not the end of the world, but would love to not lose connection while heating up food, especially when watching Netflix haha.
Thank you for the help!

Hi Patrick,
Never noticed, but I will keep an eye on this.

Hi Patrick

Here's an article you may find interesting: https://www.pcworld.com/article/227973/six_things_that_block_your_wifi_and_how_to_fix_them.html

If you can, try to have these electronics placed further apart or at least not to have the microwave in-between the modem and your device. Let us know if it helps!

Patrick, microwaves are one of the factors that may intercept wifi waves so you are not alone. As Fizzy mentioned it may be too close to be the modem. If you still want to microwave popcorn while watching Netflix you can plug your tv directly in the modem ( if this is supported by your equipment obviously)
