OK, gang, I need some different help here.
I have a 4 port wireless router (Trendnet TEW-812DRU at the moment)
connected to our main computer and two others in the home, not including
the laptops that connect to it periodically.
I have replaced the router at least 4 times over the past year or two due to
the fact that RF from my ham station is getting into it through one or more of
the three CAT-5 cables I have connected to it.
I have installed several of those snap-on filters on all three of the CAT-5
cables which connect to it, and also on both ends of the DC power cable,
making seveal "loops" through each filter.
I still wipe out the router every time I get on the air. I have destroyed one
$169.00 router, and two less expensive ones, a TPNET and a Cisco.
The only solution I have come up with is to disconnect the CAT-5 cables (all
three of them) from the router each time I get on the air.
Has anyone here had a similar problem, and if so, what did you do to fix it?
BTW, one of my CAT-5 cables runs to the ham shack, where it connects to a
dumb 4 port switch...
This has become a giant PITA.
Any ideas?
