Re: Any cheap methods to protect Wi-Fi from Microwave?

use channel 1. Most microwave ovens trash up the top half of the band more than the lower end. 6 Ft is too close.

Already have, it doesn't do anything. Channel 1 was actually the channel I've been using since first creating the network, and I've been switching to others to see if it alleviates the problem. 6 feet is too close, but neither objects can be moved at this point. The only realistic object to be moved is the Router, and thats going to be a pita and probably more expensive than the paint.

PS I've tried auto-select, doesn't seem to work at all. Dunno, I use DD-WRT Broadcom routers so *shrug*.
