A couple of years ago I had a customer who would drop signal all the time. One day when I was there pulling my hair out I noticed every time her furnace kicked on the signal dropped. Either the motor or the electronics was creating some nasty RF.

I received an e-mail yesterday saying that she had and still did not work. One of the routers that had been at her house and did not work has been deployed elsewhere and is working fine. I am going to try to get there late this week and see what I can figure out. I do know that it is not 802.11 that is interfering as my laptop did not see any other APs.
