Wi-Fi vs Microwave

The following graphs show the results of the PassMark Advanced Network Test. The tests were done using a PC connected directly to the LAN and another PC connected via 802.11b. The 802.11b channel was adjusted on the router for each test. This first graph shows the network throughput without any microwave interference. The graphs show the network throughput with the router set to channels 5 thru 11. Each test was two minutes long with the microwave on for one minute during the middle of the test.
