I have just received and interesting call from our IT guys in our production facility. They have installed a 2.4Ghz wireless LAN system in our production and stock room areas, which is a huge area, and which includes 13 Access Points and a couple dozen wireless devices such as bar code readers, computers, and printers.
They discovered that they are having a major interference problem which they have narrowed down to the Microwave Ovens in the two break areas. Evidently, Microwave Ovens run at 2.45Ghz. It would be very difficult to remove the ovens or to move the break areas. Have any of you experts have experience with this issue? Any suggestions? Are new ovens better then older ones? Are the microwave ovens that run at a different frequency? Would it help to try and shield the ovens better? Please help.
