Default HF interference from WiFi router

The WiFi transmitter in my Actiontec GT701-WG produced interference over
much of the HF spectrum and completely obliterates the 17 meter band.
With my HF receiver in AM mode, looking at the received audio with a
spectrum analyzer, I see peaks at 60Hz and 120Hz. The router and WiFi
portion work just fine.

Anybody ever run into a problem like this and found a solution to it?

I can eliminate the noise by disabling the radio in the router, but a
real fix would be preferable.


One other responder suggested to try battery power to see if it is a
problem in an ac to dc power supply, but otherwise a lot of electronic
deviced these days spit out all kinds of hash, noise, spurious emisions
all up and down the RF spectrum. I have had problems with computer
emissions getting into receivers, and very often weak to strong diode
noise getting into my receivers. Sometimes you can add bypass capacitors,
inductors, and sheilding (metal foil around the device and then
alligator-clipped to a ground, or the ground hole in a three prong AC line
power outlet plug) to cut down on this. Good luck otherwise.
