In one of those "duh" moments I finally put two and two together last night. For as long as I've had the WIFI I've noticed that from time to time the system would grind to a halt. Still operating and actually OK for text like -email but functionally unusable for images or web browsing due to very low signal strength.

Finally last night it begins to happen again and this time I notice the sound of the microwave humming away in the kitchen. A few experiments later and "bingo" a one to one relationship. My microwave is screwing up the WIFI big time.

BTW the transmitter is upstairs and I was about, hmmm, 30? feet away in the living room with the Microwave about half-way between.
