Yeah, isn't this cool.
I have a D-Link 524 54mbps router located in the kitchen (half is a kitchen, half is a computer work area). Everytime someone uses the microwave, my signal gets lost upstairs (kitchen is on the first floor). The computer in the kitchen, also using a wireless connection, has no problems (I guess because it's like three feet away from the router). As soon as the microwave finishes, the connection upstairs comes right back.
What's the best solution to this?
I do have a free cable connection for the modem and router upstairs, but if I move it upstairs, will the signal be lost on BOTH computers when the microwave is used? I know I'll probably have to just try it to find out, but it's in my sister's room, and she hates having computer stuff cluttering it up lol.
I have it on channel 5, btw.
