In response to the reviewer who said this microwave interferes with her home's wifi when she uses it, has anyone else had this problem?

Our router is about 6 ft from our microwave oven and we have never seen interference - it is however a recent purchase (1 yr old). How old is your router and how many devices are using that WiFi when you've noticed problems? Also, you may want to change channels on your router. Your neighbors and your household members may all be using the same signal channel. If you call your internet service provider, they can steer you to a less popular channel, so you won't be sharing.

Not mine, but wifi router in my home is over 100' and several walls away, and signal in kitchen is weak anyway. View this as how much is between your microwave and your router. If you don't get much signal in your kitchen, you won't have much disruption with your wifi signal.

I have another model of Panasonic inverter microwave series and absolutely lose the wifi around the kitchen area when the microwave is on but not in other areas of the house. The router is on a different floor, far. It makes me wonder if it also interferes with living beings at close range.

Well yes, things like microwaves running in relation to your distance from them can cause issues. The closer you get the more interference you will get. Also because most wireless headsets run on the same frequency range and get interference from things like portable home phones wireless routers or anything else that runs at that frequency. Also having a lot of these devices in the a single room can cause issues as well.

Mine gets fussy when microwave is on but clears up after a few. This is really the only issue I have with it. I live about 4-6 miles from an air force base an I have no other issue other than the microwave.

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

No it does not interfere with WIFI, I connect to coffee shops and other wireless devices and haven't had a problem at all.

Not to my knowledge. I have slow wifi but my significant other has not noticed any changes in reception while I use the microwave.

I haven't had problems with wifi. You may want to see if you have the latest software for it.

I had nothing but problems with mine. It eventually would not stay connected to wifi. I lost about $20 in games too. I returned it.

I can only answer the question concerning the microwave and dishwasher. I have used both without any problems.

Frequently a metal object may block the wifi signal. Try elevating the router - you may have a kitchen appliance blocking the signal.

Hi Gail, no we haven't experienced any interference from other devices. We got it for my mother and it is working really well...she can finally hear the dialogue of the TV programs! The sound is quite clear...

I have to unplug my wifi router in order to use the Terk. Yes, pain in butt if I want to watch tv in the kitchen. Doesn't matter what channel I select on router to stop any interference it does not work at all.

It has not for me. In my experience though, cordless phones can interfere with wifi, it all depends on what frequency your cordless uses. But I have not had an issue with my Motorola cordless phones.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

I didn't have this issue with this product but I have had this issue in my home with another adapter. I had to call the company that I use as my internet provider and have them turn off the hot spot in my home. The hot spot signals were conflicting with my Wifi signal causing the computer to have an unsteady signal.
