[RFI] Network birdies

[Charles Plunk]

Hi Jim. I must be lucky, on this issue for now. I hear nothing or almost 
nothing (sounds like one faint one on one frequency I found on the ham 
bands) with my wired network disconnected. That is one thing that 
motivated me as I tried disconnecting mine long ago. I guess I stated 
"hopefully" due to possibly a neighbor coming along at some point  and 
hooking up a wired system..... I am guessing most everyone around, for 
now, is using wireless as well.

Modem is at one end of the house but put the router on the ceiling at 
the middle of the house with CAT6 shielded yesterday (already had the 
cable and power wire run in the attic). Nothing heard out of that. Just 
a matter of getting these VOMET WIFI gizmos working on my PC and a old 
HP laserjet (and checking that for birdies). I still have the old 
network hooked up for now with the new router going through it until I 
get everything setup. My wifes PC, Win 10, had WIFI built in so it was 
easy. Roku's, laptops, should be easy too as they worked on the old WIFI 
fine.

I have 12v run from one of my Astrons through some diodes and their own 
fuses mounted on some perf board. Need to do same for 5v via 7805 for 
these VOMET devices and eliminate those wallwarts ( neater and possibly 
eliminate any rfi there).

I wish power line noise was as easily under my control..........

Anxious to work on it but have to mow the yard today or I will have to 
bail it, lol.
