If you cannot change the microwave, consider trying a different wifi channel. I once had a 2012 Panasonic microwave that killed 802.11g channels 7 and 14 but not channel 0.

Microwave ovens hover in and around the 2.4 GHz range just like 802.11b/g. Switching to 5 or 6 GHz (802.11a/n/ac/ax/etc) - can help immensely.
I am not too bothered about it. I only use it every other day for about 3 minutes to heat up some porridge. I keep on meaning to buy a new Microwave, I bought it in ASDA 15 years ago for £30 and it just keeps on working.
