Well, think about it.
What lasts about 6 minutes and belches huge amounts of 2.4GHz RF?
Hint: It's in your kitchen (or your neighbors kitchen).

This is rare enough to be close to a non-problem in my mind, but is this
just the nature of wireless networks?

Yep. Biggest signal rules. Here's a list of other sources of

Most well built microwave ovens will not leak much RF. It's only the

between the door and frame, that leak. I had a leakage problem that
was easily fixed by beating the hell out of the hinge until it roughly
resembled the correct position.
