It's unfortunate that someone deliberately comes up with something like this that adds a lot of junk to a band that's already full of sources of interference. Then there's that 2.4 ghz source you have in your kitchen or office breakroom. I get my internet connection wirelessly via the library across the street. My connection dies whenever I use the microwave. While I'm waiting on my burrito to cook, I can scan for available networks but won't find any.

Besides cordless phones, what sources of interference are there to 802.11n networks?

Agreed, I see stupid hp devices even in enterprise printers they broadcast adhoc 802.11. Really annoying they make that default, but they treat wifi like bluetooth, and in fact i think it's because of the wifi pan standard being built into things like mice. Go figure, by HP. Only a win7 feature, uses a parasitic virtual device to tap it, and from reviews, it seems unreliable as hell.

Bad part is, these show up in enterprise wireless systems like Cisco Wireless Lan Controllers as rogues, can/will attempt to "mitigate" them via a rf ddos as a policy. It's simply how they deal with security is many installations.

Someones gonna buy a wifi mouse and wonder why their mouse never quite works right, probably just go chew on the poor help desk person. Not to mention it's just more interference to deal with in an enterprise wireless system in an already crowded 2.4ghz spectrum. Nothing really wrong with bluetooth, I don't know what they're trying to fix.

I'm curious to see what happens if the standard becomes more prevalent.
