Hi Brandon, I'm pretty sure wideband noise from cheap and nasty electronics can cause havoc with most telecommunications.
Whether fairy lights are any better or worse than anything else, I doubt it, though they are very cheaply produced, and unlikely to be very well designed. My Cisco 837 power supply (while still powering the router quite effectively) developed a S9+40 noise from 1.8MHz to 30MHz, which turned out to be down to the infamous bulgy caps, so it's not down to purchase price either ;) Best Regards, -- ian Sent from my phone, please excuse brevity and/or misspelling. ________________________________ From: Case, Brandon J<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 02/12/2015 17:52 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] It's that time of year...
