If your router supports dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz), try switching your streaming device to use the 5 GHz band. Microwave ovens operate at a frequency of 2.45 GHz.

We let them set it up with their Equipment then switched to a Motorola Router of our own with I think 4 Linksys Boosters and we're good to go. We Stream our TV and rarely run into any Buffering unless the Microwave is on. that seems to trigger an outage on one side of the house for a couple of minutes.

If I had to set it up again I would have gone for better more expensive Boosters. I may do it anyway, we'll see.

Good Luck and hurry up and get here already! LOL
