Network interference
-
I have a wireless network interference issue: I have an 802.11b wireless that transmits on 2.4GHz, a baby monitor that also transmits on 2.4GHz and a cordless telephone that transmits on 5.4GHz. I get interference between the router and the baby monitor. Long story short, after some research I've determined that my only option is to purchase a wireless router that transmits on 5GHz. Can anybody tell me if the router on 5GHz with interfere with my phone on 5.4GHz? Thanks Brad

I could be mistaken but the transmission frequency shouldn't be the problem. Have you tried just changing the broadcast channel on the router you currently have? They should not even cross paths on a different channel... The default for most 2.4 devices is channel 6 try using a channel higher up like 9 or 11.

It seems like I read something that said that changing the channel would not work. I've read so much about this in the past few days that it is all becoming a jumble in my head...anyway, I ruled out that option for some reason.

Change your broadcast channel to something higher up. Go two levels from where you are if you have that option. Restart the router. Then test things. That should do it. I've never heard of conflict on different channels but that doesn't mean I'm right either. I've been doing wireless for about 5 years (for pay) and this would be the first I've heard of such a thing.

I'll give that a try. It could save me a lot of cash. Hey, I checked out your web site and noticed that you are in Meridian, Idaho. How is business out there? I just moved back to Maryland after living up in Cascade for about two years. I couldn't find work out there...

We've been using baby monitors for 6 years and one of my kids is alive because of high-end baby monitors (but she's got chronic health issues). So I have a lot of experience with baby monitors and wireless routers. One thing that could be causing a problem with your baby monitor is noise on the electric circuit for the base and/or the receiver. Try putting them into decent (1000 J) surge protectors and see if that helps. If it doesn't get some little (very small 250 Va) battery backups and try to clean up the electricity going into the base and receiver. I know you'll think I'm nuts but you just have to trust me. I doubt it's your router that is the problem unless the interference goes away completely when the router is off. If that's the case is the router plugged into the same electric circuit as the monitor base? If so get it on a different electric circuit. My guess is something is causing noise on the circuit.

Oh, business is a bit too good. But I have a national customer base and some times I have a multi-national customer base. I'd honestly like a break but I won't complain.

Boise has become quite the technology city since I was a kid. I grew up in SE Idaho and I've seen Boise come a long way since I was a kid. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try the things that you suggested. You seem to be the only person on the planet who understand what I'm trying to do. That is probably why you are so busy with your business.

Yeah, I've been doing wireless and wired networking a long time. I've found that many claim to know what they are doing but few really do. Each new client I get has some big names taking care of them before me. I get in there and nothing works right, everything is such a mess. I usually spend 1 or 2 weeks fixing everything before things are really smooth and nimble again. Too bad I love writing software way more than I love networking. I could make a good living doing it but I make a lot more writing software.

I started by asking somebody at Linksys and I think I confused them to the point where they hung up on me, they claim that it was a technical problem :rolleyes: It really is hard to find somebody who really knows what they are doing. I still have some connections in your area. I’ll keep your company in mind for future references.

Cool! I appreciate that.:rose:

I’ve been unable to get the wireless 2.4GHz monitoring system to work. I’ve researched some other options and think that I might have an idea for something that would work. I’ve found some wireless network cameras that I could use on my existing 2.4GHz network. The problem is that they won’t immediately alert me when sound or motion is detected. They simply send an email. How much would you charge to write a simple application that would work with a motion sensing camera by opening ( or "bringing to the front") the video view of the camera that detects motion? I'm not even sure if this is possible but it seems like if the camera is sending 'motion detection information' then a program could somehow capture it and execute the desired processes. I have some VB.NET experience but probably not enough to make something like this work. It would be fun to figure it out though so I'm going to give it a shot. I just wanted to know if this was something that you think can be done and a "ball park" cost. Thanks Brad

Send me a link to the cameras you are looking at and I'll have a look at what can be done with them.

Here is one camera that I was looking at: http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=459[^] This one doen't say that it will send an email when motion is detected but it does detect motion.

I found a better one here: http://www.gadspot.com/product_info.php?&products_id=57[^] ...it has sound and IR. I would like to ativate the app with sound or motion if possible.

Okay, I ordered one of these they were back ordered and it just got here today. Stay tuned.:cool:

It looks pretty nifty.

In the web interface you can configure an "Intrusion" sensitivity that will react to "Motion" and send an email. Seems pretty cool!
