The regulatory landscape here is pretty funny. In all likelihood, the worst RFI offenders in your home are LED lights, followed by major appliances. Both of these are regulated less than something like a computer mouse. For lightbulbs, I think the manufacturers just self-certify.
I guess there are two ways to look at it. Either the regulation was wildly successful, so the problems persist only in the less-regulated spaces. Or we spend a lot of effort chasing the wrong problem.
- Flamingoat 11mo agoIf I turn my kettle or microwave on in my kitchen it will kill any bleutooth or wifi signal. My microwave is getting on for 15 years old, maybe newer ones are better, but the kettle was bought last year.
- elevation 11mo agoIf you cannot change the microwave, consider trying a different wifi channel. I once had a 2012 Panasonic microwave that killed 802.11g channels 7 and 14 but not channel 0.
- FuriouslyAdrift 11mo agoMicrowave ovens hover in and around the 2.4 GHz range just like 802.11b/g. Switching to 5 or 6 GHz (802.11a/n/ac/ax/etc) - can help immensely.
- Flamingoat 11mo agoI am not too bothered about it. I only use it every other day for about 3 minutes to heat up some porridge. I keep on meaning to buy a new Microwave, I bought it in ASDA 15 years ago for £30 and it just keeps on working.
