RE: Wireless Router Contamination of Sound?

Posted by cfraser on June 21, 2012 at 11:42:35:
Could be the circuit it's on, noise through that rather than RF. Those microwave units that cycle power (in a way I don't know, but it's obvious they do) when not cooking at full power can be a potent AC line noise source.
Edit: forgot to mention that some routers allow to adjust the transmit power. For instance, mine can be set over a range of 0 to 255, with 42 being "normal". I run at 10, reaches throughout my house but is sometimes a tad shakey in the garage...
