Hi All,
Earlier this year, mulling through the archives, there was a bit of talk about
noisy routers. There was not a hefty solutions to be found without turning the
earth upside down.
I have a lynksis WRT54g that is quite noisy on HF. I now have it in a large
metal cookie box with holes for ventilation and assorted plumbing. I also made
two holes for the antennae for the wifi side. I also have a ferrite bead on the
power supply line, and toroids on the incoming and outgoing wires. The toroids
are ones bought from radio shack and are rectangular and break in the middle.
The ugly signals are now down to s6 on 20meters. I am using the regular blue
cat5 cabling for two desktops. What else can one do?
Until it improves, the HF antenna is a 75m GP about 20' in the air and about
25' away from the router itself.
Can anyone reccommend a quiet router?
