It's not that bad! Besides, Microwaves operate at a variety of frequencies, some in
the 2.4GHz band, but it is shielded.
Look on the side of your microwave for that information.
I'm more concerned with the 2.4GHz phones, but those autosearch for 'quiet'
frequencies, some I am hoping that my 'always' on connection will keep 'em off of that
freq.
The whitecap protocol seems to avoid the problem with how it handles conflict
resolution, but it is proprietary and until Netgear came out in support, only
Panasonic had support, so, I'll try the D-Link until I start writing drivers :)
