It looks like we have a Ham among us judging from the frequency range and “S” signal level instead of dBm.

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...
