Is it true that microwave interference slows down Wi-Fi?
Unclear. Several sources indicate that microwave ovens, sharing the 2.4 GHz band, can interfere with Wi-Fi and degrade throughput or streaming, but each addresses this only in passing or in a narrow setting rather than measuring the slowdown directly.
