Quick question about your console setups (Gaming)

With wireless, you can get packet loss for all sorts of reasons - microwaving dinner, wiring in your house causing interference, or other changing environmental factors.


You should buy a new microwave. One that - you know - isn't trying to kill you.

Seriously: microwave ovens have shields designed to prevent the radiation leaking and cooking you along with dinner (it also increases efficiency AFAIK). If enough is leaking that it's interfering with your Wi-Fi then the shield is definitely damaged. It is a hazard and the unit needs replacing.

The optimal way to play a Bungie FPS is atop the Russian Woodpecker, connected to the internet via wifi, powering your console with an unshielded nuclear reactor, while heating up dinner in a crappy broken microwave.
