My Actiontec GT701-WG router pretty much obliterates the 17m band when

radio is active. It's probably causing some interference on other bands,

WiFi
channel has no effect on the noise.


Seems a bit of a jump in frequency to make that much of a difference?

Not familiar with those, what are they and how/where do they cause RFI?

they trasmit on the 2Ghz band and they use NON inonazing wireless signals.
havent tried listeing on its band yet to see what it might do.
herd it causes problems with some radios ect.

Is that the same 2.4 GHz band which is used for wireless networks? If
so, the smart meter may interfere with your Internet connection.

In my small town, many people receive somewhat-high-speed (500 kb/s)
Internet over the air at 2.4 GHz using a point-to-point version of
Wi-Fi. Smart electric meters may interfere with that.

Currently, my electric company can read my meter remotely, using
signalling around 60 Hz, so that it will pass through transformers.
This is a rural area with lots of distance between houses, so the
remote reading save the company a lot of money. I signed up for an
free energy audit; when the company rep arrived, he brought with him
an hour-by-hour readout of my electric usage for the previous 2 weeks.

They too are computer based so the potential for RFI is greatly
increased. But they are easier to read, Some of them can be read
remotely using methods somewhat related to BPL (though it is low speed,
not broad band)
