Default Fluorescent light RFI solved

Hi, John,

I have found the exact same thing as you. The modulation rate on those
wireless modems and such fall right in the HF band. You've already listed
what I've tried: antenna orientation.

However, most of those things have a variable power output. You can "log in"
to
them via a web interface; point your browser to their IP address and you can
perform administrative functions including adjusting the output power.

One of two things will happen: Increasing the output power may cause the
data rate between your computer and the router to increase, pushing the RFI
higher in the HF spectrum. Or, you may find that using the minimum power
possible you can reduce the interference level. I guess what I am saying is
try changing it and see what happens.

The one I am using right now is an AT&T wireless DSL modem made by 2Wire.

Good luck,

AL:

I was just "about" with a FSM and freq. meter ... the worst offender is
a Linksys "Wireless-N Home Router"--WRT150N ...

I am logging into 192.168.1.1 (the web interface to the router) to
search for the settings you mentioned, it has a TON of settings ... will
get back to you!

I cannot believe I didn't think of that, again, I claim Alzheimers'! ;-)

THANKS!

JS AKA Brett :-)
