it shouldnt, but there could be a time where your wifi signal might drop or even cut out, but that is very rare

Microwave ruining wifi connection?

Gezo

Whenever someone in my house uses the microwave, all wifi signal is lost to everyone's computers, ipods, whatever uses internet. Is there someway to fix this? I tried changing router channels, but I dont think I did it right =P
How exactly would I go around doing what GTB said..?

Answer
Microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, and similar devices use the 2.5 GHz frequencies also used by the 802.11 b / g / n wireless LAN devices.

Sometimes you can change a channel within the 2.5 GHz range and get around the problem.

If this fails, convert to the 802.11 a band which runs at 5.0 GHz. This assumes your router and your pc wireless network interface are able to use the 802.11 a.
