I had an issue on 2m with birdies from my "then new" NetGear N300 w/
wireless router to my FT-847. Moving to the combination of the K3
and DownEast Microwave 144/28 transverter helped and running shielded
cat6 wiring the most help (clamp-on ferrites did nothing for
cat5e). I did note that "most" birdies were gone when the router was
powered off (computer still on). There are birdies on both 6m and
10m as well. Many go away with disconnecting the antenna so probably
originating from neighbors.
Some years back we had a 2.4 GHz wireless camera monitor at the dog
kennel but it got so none of the wifi channels were RFI free (just
lots of parallel black bands on the TV display). I use to run
2401-MHz for ham satellites, but none are existing today so not
running anything on 2.4. Our cordless phones are 5-GHz.
We have upgraded to 3-GHz DSL so it might be time to opt for a faster
router. Any suggestions of models with low RFI potential? My (2)
desktops are generation 2008 XP32 with no wifi. I guess to try that
option would require adding wifi adapters to an USB port? I did buy
an aluminum chassis with thought to shield the router (but never go
around to doing it).
I suppose we should upgrade to a N750 router to take advantage of
streaming video (N300 do not quite get there).
