• WiFi interference

    From GB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 19 18:12:20 2024
    The people next door have installed a wifi system that causes enormous interference to our system. We have a Fritz router, plus a BT disc mesh.

    Is there anything to do to improve our system?

    And, if, in a fit of pique, I simply want to go to war and drown their
    system out, how do I go about wrecking theirs as badly as they have
    wrecked ours?

    Is it definitely WiFi or are they using Powerline adaptors?



    Wifi.

    You know it's cold outside when you go outside and it's cold.

    Have you gone over to them and pointed out nicely that they are causing a disruption and could we work something out which will work for both of us?

    Is your wifi using 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz?

    have you scanned what channels are in use with e.g. an android app? <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer>

    The router is both and I think the mesh is just 2.4.

    The mesh is on channel 1, and the router is on channel 13.

    Thanks. I have a signal strength app on my phone, but I'll get the one
    you recommended so I can check which channel next door is using.

    No. I don't think they would care. During building work, they happily
    were destroying the roots of our oak tree (which is protected) until the council stopped them.

    Do you know any radio amateurs? They are very good at tracking/fixing interference and know the regulations.

    The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not
    expect to sit.

    Aluminium foil on the wall facing where the router is might make a
    difference.

    Reboot all your

    *wifi networking access points (not the clients)

    stuff when theirs is in use. It should autoadapt on
    bootup to emptier airwaves.

    And, if, in a fit of pique, I simply want to go to war and drown their

    wrecked ours?

    Baseball bats?
