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.

In short: Yes.
Microwaves operate on the same band as 802.11 (~2.4 Ghz). There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ah, never new that. Cool.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
