A microwave that leaks 2.4 interference is what I'd consider definitely broken. Beyond broken. It can't even do it's primary job any more, just partially.
Just because the power unit still works, doesn't meant the rest is done.
This is the most idiotic bs I've read today.
The cages never have been perfect and its absolutely no problem, its safe and doesn't even cause interference with the W-LAN, just shitty 2.4 GHz connections.
Why would it be broken? Please explain in detail why a microwave that operates with up to 2400W (im only using the 1200W setting) is broken when it causes small interferences with 2.4 GHz connections? Cause im like 99% shure even Modern microwaves that operate at these Wattage do that. Faraday cages are never perfectly insulating they are regulated to only leak a certain amount of waves for safety. Otherwise you wouldn't have a window in your microwave...
The last time I had a microwave which caused interference was 30 years ago.
My microwave doesn't interfere with my wifi.
It's broken because its leaking radiation and needs replacing. wattage means nothing I have radio equipment that I use for work that would knock most routers over with 0.5 watts if it's not shielded right.
Fucking W-LAN Routers work with 100mW to 1W Transmitter Power, but thats not the point. The frequency is.
And yes you could technically interfere with most WLAN Routers with much less Wattage when you just put them on top of your equipment.
Point however is that the microwaves Faraday cage is intact and woks normally, there are different norms for microwaves and Radio Equipment...
And you say Radiation, while it is A radiation, its not ionizing like UV or anything further down that part of the spectrum (like nuclear radiation) Microwaves, like Infrared are harmless to humans by itself (unless you get cooked by them but I've never heard about that happening)
My Microwave works absolutely fine and most microwaves do let some microwaves out, they happen to be in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, a more or less Obsolete standard besides Bluetooth and cheap wireless transmitters.
So why would it be broken? Please explain. And its not Radio equipment.
Because its leaking radiation (I'm so glad you looked that word up) possibly because it's so old. Now it won't do you any harm but here's the thing is. That radiation will at some point increase and begin to interfere with others Not just at 2.4ghz either you will get harmonics that could effect other services. Now to me looking at your post histroy you seem to me that type of dickhead that would willingly cause interference just for kicks.
That a good enough reason sweet tits or do you need it in braile?
I didn't look up anything cause its not worth my time, i had physics class.
It hasn't and it has always caused problems with 2.4 GHz connections. 5 GHz was never effected. So nothing changed, furthermore the walls of my house are thick enough to block Mobile network and stuff, so even if, i won't effect people outside my house.
And you are right! I absolutely won't by a new Microwave because you told me to.
But don't worry, im already in possession of stuff that fucks up other peoples day and don't use it, so i won't use my Microwave for it either. It warms up Food not more, not less.
Btw, its a known problem for many people that microwave cause some noise in the 2.4 GHz frequency, thats nothing limited to My Microwave and has nothing to do with age, a friend of mine got a complete new kitchen and his microwave does the same.
Again, what do you think is going to happen, its nothing dangerous, just a very very minor inconvenience at best.
Oh and yes i need it in brail.
