Microwaves, chordless phones, radios, celphones (the latter two to lesser extents) and other objects that emit frequencies similar to those can affect the quality/ strength of a wifi network. Get away from the field and keep both the base and the reciever cards away from the sources of emmissions.

Nope perfectly normal occurrence.
Microwaves emit unregulated radio waves that can interfere with the radio waves your wireless network produces.

Yes, the microwave frequency is probably around the same as the 2.4ghz... so that's why that happened.
