Well heres the story...
recently i have found out something that gets annoying...
when my neighbour uses his microwave, i lose connection to my Netgear router... yet when i use MY microwave, its fine, no problems.
Anybody got a cure?
thanks![]()

lol how did you find out that there was the connection? You could maybe try a directional antenna if that is possible for you, might boost the signal, or could u move the router to a differnt part of the house?
-
LOL! haha ... there is something clearly wrong with his microwave oven then! I think wireless internet uses microwave as well....but shouldnt it be at a different frequency? Maybe you neighbour is using some cheap brand microwave that buzzes out aa large range of microwaves???
-
ya, i really want to know how u figured that you neighbors microwave was on???? lol
-
Yeh maybe the microwave is a cheapie... maybe u can convince them to wrap it in tin-foil?.... or line your appt in foil. or buy them a toaster oven lol.
On a side note, i know at our school the system admin has a 2.4 ghz phone, its funny when he walks down the hall with it, people all lose their connection to the wireless haha -
Sabotage his microwave so he has to buy a new one!
-
lol! ''wrap ur house in foil'' hahaha
....you could also destroy his freezer so he cant store any frozen microwaveable food!

New wireless router: $200
Knowing you lose your Internet connection everytime your neighbour gets hungry: Priceless -
lol at all heheheh
well i know hes using it, cuz i can hear it lol... im living in a semi-detatched houseeverytime i hear it, i lose connection, then when it stops, im connected lol.... happens everytime
-
-
meh, i will be moving in a years time lol, it dont happen that often, but when he uses it, it always cuts it off.... ahh well ill have to put up with it for now, thanks anyway

Want a cool way to see the effects of a microwave turned on on your wireless?
Download NetStumbler, open up the program, and find your network on there, go to your network channel and click on it to open up a graph showing signal strength. Let it run for a minute or two, then turn on the microwave. -

Time for a new house I think. -
It's no ordinary microwave. That's probably why he can hear it, it's probably very loud.

Alien tech! oh god!
or may be its a transformer microwave!??!?!

Maybe the microwave is really a garage for an alien spacecraft...
That's no ordinary plate inside...
