MICROWAVES

Thats right, microwaves.
If i could take any invention out of the world, ANY one thing, it'd be pogs, god i hate pogs.
(but thats beyond the point)

Now, when i got super lag the last couple of days i was got comments like:
"whats making you lag so bad?"
"Fix your ping"
"I hate you" that sort of thing.
And my response was: "My microwave makes me lag".
Instantly I was slammed by a torrent of lols, sarcasm and just general shenanigans.

Well IT DOES MAKE ME LAG! :mad: and i cant help it if my dad wants to make chili!
And so to set yall straight:
There are some devices like microwave ovens and cordless phones that can interrupt wireless networks.

Performance of any wireless device can be affected by interference from other devices like cordless phones, microwave oven, and neighbouring networks.

Just google it, theres plenty more
So TAKE THAT to the... bank and....cash it?!?!!

Yeah! :cool:
 
Oh dear god... Do NOT use your microwaves eventually they are going to take over the world, they are going to wipe out the ovens. People, we need ovens. Burgers in 60 seconds, oh dear god... What next?!?!?!
 
If you read the back of a microwave, you'll see most of them operate at about 2.4 Ghz... which, when you flip over your local wireless router... operates in the same frequency range. Huh.

You can fiddle with channels on your router, but the microwave is going to bleed across several bands. Trust me on that.

Also: relatively new cordless phones that operate at 2.4 Ghz. You want to use either the 900 Mhz (older) phones or the very new 5.8 Ghz phones instead.

When the FCC approves white space frequency usage, the 2.4 Ghz band is going to get even more cluttered. So, wired connections FTW!
