Microwave Interfering with Wifi connection
So I've never had this problem with any other routers but I use the Orbi satellite as a bridge to connect my WMC Extender to my HTPC and any time someone uses the microwave is used the connection betw...
so how close is ether the orbi router or sat from the microwave
cause you have 1 of 2 issues , the router or sat are too close to the microwave and causing interference
or
microwave is stuffed and leaking so much microwave energy its frying you all as well as the wifi on the orbi
i certainly would be checking if the second one is the issues , electricians can test for microwave leakage
Both the router and Sat are at least 30 feet away from the microwave, so I don't think it's that.
As for the second possibility, wouldn't we have run into this issue with my prior wireless setup (bridged R7000s)?
so logic states that if the issue only occours with the microwave on then its something to do with the microwave
maybe back emf issues or microwave leakage but etherway its worth having the microwave checked out
you can try a ac noise line filter for the microwave to stop back emf
Can you borrow a Microwave and plug it into the same receptacle, the leaking of raydon waves outside of the microwave is scary to say the least.

Yes... in the old days we use to light florescent bulbs by holding them in front of a leaking microwave units
