[H] Magnets and Wireless

2006-02-02 Thread Thane Sherrington (S)
Does anyone know if the magnets in speakers can cause interference 
with wirless networks?  I have a customer who has his router on top 
of a speaker and is concerned that it is conflicting with his 
wireless and causing lower than 54MBit connections.

It shouldn't. Maybe if it was a really, really, really strong electromagnet.

Think of how many radios have had speakers built in.

The magnetic would have to vibrate really, really fast to create signals 
that would interfere at 2.4 GHz..  The customer would do well to play 
around with the location of his router, I'd say.

I have a client that is a complainer  they have their wireless 
WRT54g on top of a speaker but they've yet to complain about the 
wireless being affect by anything other than cordless phone. I don't 
believe the wireless would be effected unless an antenna was right on 
the magnet.
