I'm using a D-Link DI-604. I operate 13 bands from 1.8 (??!!) to 432 
MHz  and have not yet found any interference from the router. I have 
carefully checked the weak signal portions of the four V/UHF bands 
by powering the router on/off while monitoring a very weak signal 
source with my antennas pointed toward the router. I found no sign 
of any noise from it. Your results may vary! I should probably note 
that my 144 and 222 antennas are some distance from the router -- 
about 90 feet away horizontally and 75 feet above. The 50 and 432 
antennas are lower and closer.

Now if only I could get the video/monitors on two of my computers to 
stop making so much noise on 6 meters! Grrr! (and yes, I checked for 
noise from the router/network with these known noise makers off so 
as not to mask any possible noise from the router)
