Re:Test Microwave for Radiation Leakage

You would need to take your access point and wave it all around various directions in the space around the microwave. The “leak” could occur in a direction that doesn’t have significant signal. Might be a better test to cook a large bowl of water, while testing your phone (outside the oven) on 2.4ghz … holding it on all sides of the oven to see if any areas degrade the signal. This testing approach isn’t that conclusive.

Agreed. I just tested with two phones and one phone timed out but the other was able to maintain a connection. That would suggest that my microwave is maybe leaking. However I'm able to use the microwave without any noticeable effects from on 2.4ghz devices.
