Did you know you can use a scrapped microwave as WiFi-Jammer?

Did you know you can cook using a micro wave?
(That's what they were made for BTW)

Microwaves from microwave ovens do interfere with WiFi signals because physically they are the same thing. They are both electromagnetic waves with frequencies around 2.4GHz. The microwave door should in principle block inside radiation from the magnetron from escaping but there can be some leaks.

A microwave oven is designed to concentrate and contain the microwave radiation it uses to cook food, where as a router Is an omnidirectional microwave signal transmitter/reciever.

You could also use 1000 routers and the 1000 routers blast the signal everywhere so the whole room would be irradiated, and cooked.

@tracktraps Just imagine that. Death by router.

@PrivateGER
"Death by router" as a term is already in use. It describes the act of pulling the plug on a router and thus forcing your teenage kids offline which leads to an emotional near death experience for them.

@ThatDude You changed my life.

@ThatDude we don't have a microwave at home but when we visit my grand parents I use it to make hot chocolate cacao stuff ( how the fuck is that actually called??! XD )

@b3b3 Hot chocolate.

@ThatDude I'm basically living of coffee 😅 if I remember correctly I didn't eat anything at all today lul

@CWins as a kid i can confirm
have mercy

@tracktraps that last part got me "and cooked" 😂😂 I saw a Cisco AP at friend's office which has a label that says "Keep distance at least 5 meters during operation" and besides 2.4GHz and 5GHz it also gives off some beta rays(the labels and manual says so)... Dangerous device :-D

@D3add3d has it a internal nuclear power plant or what?

@Condor 1W is perfectly all right. In Germany, as an example, a router is limited to max 100mW. Most routers in Germany use only 20mW to be on the safe side of the law. Only IEEE 802.11 a / h allows up to 1W.

@moars42 dunno, I was not allowed to take it apart

This is too much trouble. If you are not a professional, I suggest you not to convert the microwave oven into a jammer. This is a dangerous act. In fact you can buy one on a professional website, for example:

@skylishop You already posted that once.

Technically, a microwave oven operates at a frequency close to that used by WiFi, which is why there's a theoretical basis for this idea. However, repurposing a microwave in this way would require significant modifications, not to mention the legal repercussions. Also, tampering with electronic devices can be hazardous. If you're not an expert, it's always better to leave such tasks to professionals. For instance, if you're in San Jose and need help with appliance repair, consider reaching out to appliance repair San Jose https://www.master-appliance.com/ They can safely handle electronics without causing unintended disruptions or hazards
