Microwave interfering with Wireless

This isn't really a problem, just something interesting.

We have our router on a table next to a wall. On the opposite side of this wall is a microwave. Recently we've noticed that every time someone turns on the microwave, the signal we get from our router goes from 54 Mbps to 1 Mbps. At first we didn't really think the microwave was doing that, but we've tested it a few times (randomly and at different times of the day) and our signals do go down about 1-2 seconds after the microwave is turned on and goes back up about 1-2 seconds after the microwave is turned off. Has anyone had similar experiences? Can such weak microwaves really interfere with radio waves?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, never new that. Cool.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
