After several months of just not listening to my 2 meter base station, I

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.


I would suggest FIRST, making sure you have the latest firmware for the
D-Link router.
Know how to update the firmware properly -- it is covered on the D-Link web
site.

Sister had a wireless D-Link router and the update/upgrade of firmware
seemed to quiet down the RFI. Likely a poorly written piece of code by a
programmer -- who has never heard of RF.
