use WiFi channel 1
Tried that.

Yeah I wish I could move the microwave, just no where in the house it can fit. I mean the microwave isn't right next to it, a good 6 feet away with a wall seperating them.

It sounds like they are just on opposit sides of a wall. I would bet that they are both on the same 120v circuit and the problem is aggravated by that. Can you try powering the router from a wall circuit that you know is not on the same circuit as the microwave?

They aren't on the same circuit and they're on adjacent walls, but not on the other side of the same wall. Not that it makes a huge difference, but the router is on a UPS too.

The microwave itself is probably 5-10 years old.
