Try feeding power to it from a battery source, rather than the wall

I was thinking same thing. He has a swiching wall wart that responds
to the current draw when the WiFi TX is enabled.

Exactly my problem with a Wirespeed DSL modem. Cheap wall wort would
spew all over the spectrum after a few minutes under load.


Thanks for the suggestion about the power supply.

I'll be cobbling together an appropriate cable to feed the modem from a
stiffly regulated analog supply. If that works, I'll just build a little
supply to replace the wall wart.


That seems to be it.

I powered the router from an Astron RS-12A and the interference was gone.

Don't know if the wall wart itself is the source of the problem or if it
drops output under load and causes the router to misbehave, but it's an
easy enough fix.
