My Denon HEOS Link2 streamer receives from our router over the 2.4 GHz wi-fi band. When we run the ~1200W microwave, its radiation interrupts the stream.
I pass on a solution I found. The router was set on Auto channel, that is, its firmware algorithm chose from channels 1 to 11 in the 2.5 GHz band. Per advice I changed the router settings to use channel 1. That stopped the microwave interference. I'm told the microwave operates at 2.5 GHz and that channel 1 in the 2.4 GHz band is the furthest away from that band. Fortunately, neighboring networks are not crowded into channel 1.
The router also uses the 5 GHz band, and I left that one at Auto channel select. The Denon is only on 2.4 GHz.
