Hi all, can you help me on this problem please?
My friend who lives not to far off from me has his PC`s wired up to the
Internet via wireless, this includes mouse, keyboard, and of course
Internet.
The neighbour who lives next door has a 14 element Yagi 2 mtr beam on
his roof alongside other antenna.
Since this has been put up every time it is switched on and operated (I
would think) it knocks out the wireless Internet and mouse and
keyboard.
And also the telephones that are also wireless. (I think they are the
digital type)
Is there any thing that can be done?
He has approached the neighbour but he wont have any of it and simply
will not listen.
This has only happend since all the equipment has been installed on the
roof.


TIA.

It is highly unlikely that the neighbor's 2M ham equipment is causing
any of your friend's problems. It sounds to me like there has been
little evidence to indicate otherwise, other than the physical presence
of antennas on the roof.

A more likely cause for your friend's problems is that a neighbor
(maybe even the ham) has computer wireless networking equipment of some
kind, and this is interfering with your friend's network. Or, it could
be cordless telephones that also operate in the wireless network
frequencies.

You really need to get more facts as to what is actually happening in
your friend's house and do some research before blaming the ham. It
could be him, but more likely it is another cause. To bad the ham is
not cooperative as this could probably get him off the hook for the
cause.

Good luck.

I agree. I run 100-watts to a 20-element 2-meter beam, and there is
no interference to my wireless network, wireless phones, wireless
keyboards or wireless mice. And none of my neighbors have reported
any problems either. Does this happen when the ham is not even home?

Hi, yes it only happens when he is at home.
This has only happened since the antenna has been put up on the roof.,
never before.
