You're joking right? In case you're not, no, WiFi are not microwave signals, they are radio signals.

Uh... No. WIFI (and all other wireless internet connections) are microwaves, just with much less power than A microwave.

So I looked this up, turns out you are both right. WiFi does use radio waves as I always thought, but radio waves are actually low energy microwaves.
