If a microwave oven and cordless phone interfere with each other using WiFi, then what should be used to avoid such kind of interfere. Can we avoid interference permanently or temporary?
Microwave ovens and many cordless phones operate at the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the same radio spectrum used by 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless networks. That means they can cause interference - but in most instances this will just slow down the Wi-Fi connection; it won't stop transmission or break the connection.
To lessen an interference, 2.4 GHz cordless phone can be moved away from Wi-Fi equipped computer or base station. Interference usually only happens with older microwave ovens. The channel can be changed on which Wi-Fi network is being operated to avoid interference. In addition, some manufacturers have introduced and implemented emerging technologies that reduce interference from cordless phones and ovens. Good luck............
To add something to the answer above, today Wi-Fi devices are capable to operate on the 5 GHz band. So if it's impossible to move the interferer (microwave oven, cordless phone ...), switching to the 5 GHz band resolves this interference problem.
Thank you Imad Jamil, but Abdul mentioned 2.4 GHZ cordless phone but not 5 GHZ band. So, it only interferes with 2.4 GHZ cordless phone. In addition, Abdul, also mentioned regarding some emerging technology.
Di Wu, would you like to explain what do you mean by IC algorithm and communication protocol? Your answer is general and would you like to go to specific with exact detail.
I am attaching this reference, if it provides any help:

If you do not have static allocation (we forced 802.15.4 channels in this case), there should be little problem. But yes, it can potentially interfere...
Hope it helps. all the best.
