Hi Gherry: Just remember that when you pull back on the yoke (stick), the houses get smaller, but if you keep pulling back they get bigger again.

It's about as interesting as getting a sports car up to about 75 mph and pulling back on the wheel. Not much happens. Now, do that in a small airplane and pull back on the wheel. Yippee!

Installed some isolation transformers between building mains and the food blasters - no more complaints from the sales/accounting dweebs, or whatever they do. Also noted that some of the power to the lunch room does not have a separate ground wire - uses the metal conduit, which probably does not help much. As for the specific ID of these iso transformers, hmmm... we no longer make this particular model. But I am going to upgrade my tin-foil hat, as I very much suspect that the space aliens are using the 2.4GHz carrier to link our brains to the NSA computers... luck, Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 1:27 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Microwave Oven Interference with 2.4Ghz Wireless LAN Except for rebuilding the break rooms with foil-lined dry wall, metal flooring, screened windows, filtered power, waveguide-beyond-cutoff ventilation grills, and RF tight doors, I don't know there is much for a solution. I was told that in one major Boeing plant, communications as 2.4 GHz is all but impossible -- there are microwave ovens scattered around the various break rooms running off of all three phases of the electrical power (120/208 volts "Y"); and due to variety of manufacturers, generating RF during both polarities of each phase. In other words, continuous 2.4 GHz RF. Except for specialize industrial units, I don't think you will find microwave ovens running at any other frequency.

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.
