Apparently modern wifi chips are just too good at picking up faint signals.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoImplying faint microwave signals also make their way out, of course.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI have heard of WiFi slowing down when a microwave is running. Also when a phone is in a microwave, the RF noise is also attenuated, so that helps a little (amplifier noise is unaffected).
- MauranKilom 3y agoMy wireless headphones get an unbearable amount of pops and cracks when I'm wearing them close to my (running) microwave. But since I wear them virtually always, I am in effect virtually never next to my microwave when it's on :)
