WI Fi and signal interference

strettie

Appreciate any help, I am thinking of setting up a wireless network but before I buy the relevant hardware was wondering do any of the following interfere with the wi fi signal :

- videosender

- digital wireless phones

Also are those wifi USB receivers any good or am I better off buying an internal wi fi card for my desktop

Should be no conflict. I got a Netgear 108 router:-

a wireless PC adapter !!!

Once they dont operate in the 2.4GHz band you will be fine. Check the phones, I think some of them do operate in the wifi band

i had problems with signal because of the amount of machines I have, just changed channel that the wifi was running on, worked like a dream

IIRC, there are 10 channels to choose from, and 3 (or 4) of them are completely seperated from each other (non-overlapping). This means it should be very easy to resolve any interference in your house by either changing the channel on your WI-FI network, or on your other equipment.
