My Linksys wireless router causes nothing at all on any of my vhf

Likewise I'm using a D-Link with no problems. The 144/440 rig sets
about 3 feet from the router and the CAT5e gigabit network cable runs
along with the coax for a ways and then parallels it for another 40 to
50 feet.

I can set a 2-meter HT here on the desk and it'll work just find. If
I move it up against the computer cabinet it'll just open the squelch.





After several months of just not listening to my 2 meter base station, I
finally took time to find the source of the interference that held the
squelch open on the repeater channel I listen to most often. Turned out it
was my Dlink DI-604 router. I borrowed a Linksys NR-041 router from my
neighbor and it works a little better. I can now listen to the 145.390
repeater, not because the Linksys puts out no RFI, but only because it puts
it out in a different place (mostly in the 146.46-146.58 range). I will
probably invest in a newer router, probably wireless. Question I have is
does anyone have any experience with the new breed of wireless routers that
are reasonable clean in the RFI/2 meter spectrum? Thanks.
