Wireless interfrence Please Help!

[steamin86]

Hi I have a problem:

 

I have recently purchased a wireless AV sender which allows me to watch sky in another room of the house. It works fine, however everytime I switch it on, my laptop and desktop pc cannot connect wirelessly to the internet (BT Broadband), and when I switch the sender off it works fine again. I think the reason for this is this 2.4ghz frequency band.

 

Please let me know any suggestions you may have to overcome this as it is really inconvenient. Since my desktop is in the loft and hub in the front room, wired connections are not an option unfortunately.

 

Many Thanks

Hi and welcome.

 

I think you need to change the Chanel on the router.

Let me know which router and model number if you need further instructions.

 

I am not here until Sunday evening after I post this.

Changing the channel on the router may just help sort this issue as the bandwidth does have some room for manoverability. The AV sender probably has a far more powerful signal and as it runs on a microwave frequency would be interfering to some extent. If you've got all the boxes (wireless router, AV sender etc) on the same desk/ sideboard, this certainly won't help. Try moving one of them and see if the interference drops off. It may not actually be the signal per se, but rather the boxes interfering with each other
