Recently everytime the microwave downstairs would go off, it would disrupt my internet connection. Either it will kick me out of the game or just lag for a long time. I usually have great connection if the microwave isn't going off. It goes off in the wrong moments too at some points. I have a linksys WRT54G. If anyone has any experience or knows how to actually solve this problem it would be of a great help. Thanks.

I have never heard of such thing except on something on King of the Hill where they make his house not pass the house test to sell it.

Both operate on the 2.4ghz band so interference is possible depending on how well your microwave is shielded from letting radiation out.

other devices that operate on the 2.4ghz band

Portable phones

360 controllers

Many remote toy cars

Yeah that was the word on the street. But the thing is this happened recently...possibly from when I restarted the router because of a DNS error from Comcast or something. Before it was just fine with the microwave on. I heard that you have to change the 'channel' or ports and stuff. That is really confusing for me though.

Routers have diff channels of the 2.4 band which they can transmit on. They usually sense the band and choose there channel based on interference from other devices , routers ect.

Channel 6 is usually the chosen (2.437GHz)

That link should take you to the wireless section of your routers GUI
