I’m definitely not talking about putting aluminium foil inside the microwave because that’s stupid and dangerous.

I’m wondering if you cover the microwave in aluminium to lessen interfere or block interference by blocking the interfering signal with aluminium foil.

I can’t move my microwave because I already moved it from a spot before that made the door inconvenient to open and hard to grab food from and I live in a rental house so can’t move the jack

    If it is leaking enough to effect wifi then you really should get a new unit if you could.

    I wouldn’t cover it in foil as that will block the air intakes from cooling the unit.

      Language police sirens. Something can affect something else, or can have an effect on something. Otherwise, perfect comment!

        Policing the police I suppose. “Effect” can actually be used as a verb, and it means “to bring about a result”. So something could effect something else. It’s still used incorrectly in the original comment, I just wanted to contribute a nitpick I thought you’d appreciate.

          Yes! Thank you! But I find it so rare on the internet that “effects” must be a typo like 99% of the time (pulled it out my ass but yeah)
