How far away is the MW from these devices?  There shouldn't be a
significant mw influence unless your oven is extremely leaky (which is a
health hazard unto itself).

I am 15ft at the closest to my home 1Watt mw oven. It has no effect on my wifi.


Conversely, the cheap (low-power) mw oven at work is 4ft away from a
computer work-bench.  Every time the mv is in use, all wifi activity stops.
