here's what YOU posted
see, that's where you're wrong. spidey edited his post. i replied to him when his post said "move the microwave." that's also why i replied to him with the following:
"spidey: let's consider that mobility is not an option (except for the microwave, which really has no other place to go). i need options to shield it, not move it."
stop pwning yourself.

It's called Electro Magnetic Interference. You have couple of options there. If the microwave is old it's most likely not shielded well and EMI intereferes with the signal inside the cable. If possible, move the microwave away from the cables. If not, move the cable inside a shielded conduit.
tami,
It's entirely possible that the microwave is causing the radios in the netgear problems. This in turn could lead to problems with the router itself. SOHO gear isn't known for reliability.
You could try the aluminum foil if needed. Also make sure your cable plant is grounded to EIA/TIA specifications.
Then again, you could always change channels. I think no one else has mentioned this.

As I understand what you have written, sugartits, is that your wired network is connected to your wireless router since you explicitly say that the wifi router is what is connected to your cable modem. Now, there are cable modems with more than one LAN port, but most only have one LAN port, and since your office apparently doesn't have an IT person to babysit itsself, I'm betting you have the same cable modem that the cable company supplies 99% of their customers. What I can tell you from my limited experience in these matters is ANYTHING connected to a wifi router will suffer from interference to the wifi signal. I have experienced this same issue in my own home where my desktop would drop a connection sometimes when the wifi was losing signal due to cordless phone usage. That solution is simple...buy a phone not using the 2.4Ghz frequency. Your only choice is to try changing channels or deal with having no microwave, or live with the problem.
and as Spidey just posted above, it seems like this had all been mentioned.
you OWNED yourself like a dog on a leash because you don't know what the fvck you're talking about in the SLIGHTEST, yet want to argue with people's advice.

Get rid of microwave or get rid of network. Or relocate one of them.

he's so pwned. 😀 he has nothing to say.
it's interesting of the anomalies i noticed as i shifted from ATOT to blogging. bloggers who make mistakes own up to them. mikey is too heavily focused on his self pride, so he'll likely never do that. 🙂
anyway: back to the issue - my wireless and wired connections go out when the microwave is running. from the helpful responses (thank you to those who actually read the entire post instead of nitpicked), is the best option to shield the microwave with tinfoil? how would i ground it?
boomer: my boss is the one who makes the internet go out the most. i can't really suggest that 😛
anymal: that's the direction i'm heading.

where did I make a mistake? because you failed to read Spidey's edit? gimme a fvcking break....typical woman.

aww, i must have 😉... but you still did't answer the channel changing question's benefit over a wired network
i obviously don't know anything about this, which, again is why i ASKED FOR HELP and asked for clarifications where necessary. i didn't argue with your advice, i argued with the way you issued it. and then i pointed out a flaw in your advice and showed you that you didn't even read what i wrote.
please stop trying to cover your own ass here. you suck at it.
thanks to everyone else who helped.
lol
let me explain how a forum works. posts are read in consecutive order. i posted a reply to spidey at 2:33 saying that mobility was not an option. he edited his post (either before or after mine but at 2:33 as well) with a new option. however, i'm looking for new advice, not edited advice that i've already reviewed and considered.
you are correct that i failed to read his edit, but i think spidey would agree that with the volume of responses in this thread and the way i was responding to them, it was probably in his best interest to make a new post so that i could have given proper attention to it.

I read everything you wrote, although I wish I hadn't bothered helping you.
obvoiusly you still can't read as both Spidey and I explained the likely issue that
What I can tell you from my limited experience in these matters is ANYTHING connected to a wifi router will suffer from interference to the wifi signal.
Your husband has my sympathies if you are like this all the time. My ass doesn't need covering, I could care less. When I'm wrong, I admit it, you just won't listen to sound advice. I guess we'll never know if Spidey and I were right because odds are you will never admit it if that turns out to be the problem.

*edit*
not worth it.
go buy your new microwave...it will solve all your problems and give you a footrub at night too.

actually, you never said that. but if you intend to edit an older post to make it look like you did, by all means, go ahead and then accuse me that i failed to read your edit.
making it personal and pointing at my husband due to a question i've asked (with plenty of follow ups and criticism due to your intolerance) is saddening, really. obviously i am not going to respond well to "too dense to listen for a 4th time, I give up."
i asked a question and i was answering as quickly as i received responses. you're just too quick to judge and you brought this upon yourself.
i'm not insulted (especially with all of this coming from you) but i feel bad for you that you're using ATOT as a social bullying outlet in lieu of a real social life.

I DID SAY THAT. LEARN HOW TO READ YOU MORON. The post in question was edited within 5 second of being posted for a spelling mistake. You seriously think that I had the forsight to immediately go back and make an edit over something you deny 18 minutes later that I posted?

you can't even admit you mis-read a post. you have to blame it on editing, once again even when it's not true.
mikey, thanks for your help too, but going out of your way to tell me i'm owned really is childish and unnecessary.
"What I can tell you from my limited experience in these matters is ANYTHING connected to a wifi router will suffer from interference to the wifi signal" says a lot more than "all microwaves emit radiation in the same band as wifi."
the former statement doesn't equal the latter statement. but now i understand that that was your intention.
i'm going back to work and logging out of ATOT as i have enough to go with in terms of troubleshooting. please calm down and go outside.

I dont know too much about network protocol, but i know that if i liberate some one else's wireless, it tends to go out when cars drive by.
