And while the wifi thing sounded silly, well, you'd be surprised... :P
Ha, yeah... no doubt there. I work in IT for a living, and WiFi has still managed to throw me for some loops. When we first moved into our new house a few years back, our WiFi would cut out periodically... I tried to pinpoint the source, debated on changing routers etc... but it had worked fine for years prior to that so I just had no idea what was "different". FINALLY one day I happened to walk out complaining to the wife that we need to do something to resolve this annoyance, and realized she had the microwave running... searched my memory and recalled the microwave on the last time it had happened, then remembered some small print about frequencies of other devices interfering with GHz ranges when I worked at staples years before, and put it together. After a couple tests we confirmed every time the microwave was turned on, the internet connection cut out (It was a different microwave than our previous home, DOH!). A quick change to dual-band in a higher frequency (... while not as good for range of wi-fi or as strong a connection in general ...) resolved the issue.
