Help with microwave?

My microwave keeps disconnecting me from wifi. This has happened much more then once. Are there any solutions to this? Other then smashing my microwave of course...

To expand on the above suggestions- go into your router settings and find the WiFi or Wireless page.
Usually there'll be a "Channel" menu with several selections to choose the channel the router operates on. Normally it'll be set in the middle of the range, usually 7.
Try changing it to the lowest available number, the restart your computer(s).
If this doesn't help, try changing it to the highest channel number.

The router and microwave operate on very close to the same radio frequency band, and changing the channel the router uses may help to avoid interference from other devices in the same radio band.

This is pretty much your only option without going to cable or moving things.

Switch the adapter to the microwave.

I do that and it works.
