If the oven is leaking microwaves, it would be more serious than radio interference.
Odds are the interference is being carried down the power cord, which suggests a plug-in RFI filter may help.
If the oven itself is leaking (radiating into the air) you need to replace it asap, and get your money back.

Can you pick up the noise on a cordless phone near the oven?

No problems with cordless phones near the oven.  I'll look into a RFI filter.

My wife had though of changing the router frequency too. 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, you have been very helpful.

Typical router channels used are 1, 6 and 11.  Typically most routers ship to the store set on channel 1; if you can change to one of the other 2 there might be a chance for better results. Before you go trudgin out to find an RFI filter.

Faraday?  You know, there are other, more personal uses for a Faraday shield.  For one thing, it can protect you from those government mind control rays.  Like this:
