Re: Microwave Interfering with Wifi connection
Pretty strange, as microwaves operate on the 2.4GHz spectrum and backhaul is on 5GHz. I'd believe it's tearing down 2.4GHz connections because, well, physics.

Re: Microwave Interfering with Wifi connection
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
I wouldn't put my eyeballs close !
