Interference with WiFi network: Has anyone else been able to determine the specific frequency range (beyond just 2.4GHz) so it can be sidestepped?

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (&lt;1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

Yes, there is a possibility of wireless interference. The monitor broadcasts on 2.4 GHz and some routers run on the same frequency (we have a Qwest Q1000 and it does get interference). Check to see what you wireless router uses to see if there is a conflict.

As far as I know, the unit only has 2.4 GHz radio frequency. I have not had problems with it.

I have never had any interference issue. I had my sons birthday party and had the Sabrent base inside (the two speakers outside in the backyard with batteries and were within 15 to 30ft from the base) my house about 20ft away from my wireless router (using Comcast wireless router) which was playing music from my tablet (using Spotify), had my wife's phone as well as mine connected, a PS3 and some of my nephews iPhones connected. All of these devices were connected at the same time and didn't have any noticeable interference issues for the 4-5 hours that it was in use.

We have not had any problems with the system interfering with our wireless internet or phone system. Unfortunately, I don't know what the maximum range is. We have a 2,900 square foot home and haven't had issues with the range.

In the Wireless / Professional / 2.4GHz settings, there is a setting that suggests that there can be such a conflict. It's called, "Reducing USB 3.0 interference." If you enable it, it improves the 2.4GHz wireless range at the expense of USB 3.0 speed.

I have some hi tension lines near my house and have no interference on the AM band. The local lines are underground, so I'm not sure about interference. I can test them down the street tomorrow.

Kind of a vague question...I haven't had any issues as of yet. Range seems good, but that can depend on the WiFi source and how many others are connected.

I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

Personally I did not find it capable of detecting frequencies in the MHz itself let alone GHz range of wifi. It is best for detecting ELF such as power lines and microwaves, but that's about it.

i've had connection problems before, but i just "forget" the bluetooth device, and re-pair. that has helped. not sure if this helps you, though. i don't get any wifi interference. that may be a router issue. try restarting the router and, essentially, recreating your wifi environment.

Our router is about 6 ft from our microwave oven and we have never seen interference - it is however a recent purchase (1 yr old). How old is your router and how many devices are using that WiFi when you've noticed problems? Also, you may want to change channels on your router. Your neighbors and your household members may all be using the same signal channel. If you call your internet service provider, they can steer you to a less popular channel, so you won't be sharing.

no...the 2.4Ghz (or 900Mhz) is the same frequency that home wireless telephone systems operate. Neither should interfere with your wireless LAN network. There are also 3 channel settings on the Sabrent transmitter that allow you to choose the clearest reception. My Sabrent system works perfectly...

Nope, no adjustment on the frequency. A better option is the wifi controlled version. You can connect multiple boxes to your local network and control them all from one app.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

No, The antennas are Frequency sensitive. There are others that will however do the job. This particular item is not designed for 2.4gHz.

Not a bit and I have two of them...Microwave going, wifi, bluetooth...no interference when using them at all.
