    That really shouldn’t happen… I’ve owned a few microwave ovens, and a few wifi routers, and I’ve never had that problem…

      It does happen, and it’s perfectly in-spec for it to happen (with some frequencies of wifi). WiFi & BlueTooth use generic bands of the RF spectrum which are also reserved for emissions by unshielded equipment. While the oven part of a microwave oven must be shielded, the transformer circuit isn’t required to be. Also, the house wiring can oscillate at a similar harmonic frequency.
