I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

I had purchased a HTIB from Panasonic, and the wireless rear channels caused many problems with my home wifi network. Although the system sounded great, I was unable to keep it for this reason.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

Mine is located 3 rooms away on the other side of the house and it seems to be working OK. As the Wireless G/N only works in the 2.4ghz range, you might want to check for other interference sources - primarily cordless phones & microwaves that work on the same frequency. Also you might want to check to make sure the player isn't sitting particular close to a speaker and that you have decent, shielded A/V cables and a good surge protector.

There should be no problem. I ordered two of them and never had any interference. You can also change the code by opening both the transmitter and the receiver and change the location of the jumpers as long as botth jumpers are in the same location. It is explained on the instructions page. Enjoy your units.

There is no interference either way. Two different technologies. The only interference I received is from other wireless cameras. This happens occasionally when I'm driving, not when I'm backing up.

I haven't noticed any interference. It is installed in my bedroom and i don't use the computer or phone or TV in there. Not much help I fear.

I bought this for my wife to use on her bike rides. She has her iPhone nearby and plays her music on this speaker by bluetooth from her phone's music library. No interference yet. Music stops if she does receive a call. Not sure what other bluetooth device you will using other than a smart phone that could interfere. Hope this helps.

I"m not quite sure. But since it has it's own bluetooth receiver - that means it has an address to head to (like IP address)... it might not interfere with any other device.[I'm saying this coz I'm using Vista with bunches of bluetooth devices, including keyboard, and no interference seems to occurred.]

I do get some interference, in the form of slower throughput, but separating the control box from the Wi-Fi-equipped computer helps significantly, as does forcing Wi-Fi onto channel 11.My base station is NOT near the speakers, but testing with them at least in the same room didn't show much improvement. In some cases they might "see" each other and pick non-busy channels. Different routers might behave differently, too.Bottom line - they're great speakers, but the Wi-Fi interference is a major flaw in something aimed at being PC speakers!

No it wont. I wrote a whole article on that topic on my blog. Mine does not interfere with WiFI at all. I threw away my previous perfectly good Panasonic/GE because it killed my wifi.

I think you do because the wireless transmitter plugs into the back of my Panasonic home theater player. I believe the plug was NOT a standard shape plug, so I would not recommend that you take the chance, unless you can return it without restocking fees.

I have not noticed any interference. However I use this device in my Pickup Truck as the receiver for a Wireless TV link monitoring the rear of the car trailer. Often interference is a function of the proximity to the receiver. However I have noticed an awful lot of these wireless video links as I drive around. Even with the receiver located behind the console of the truck I have gotten glimpses of office spaces, garages, sheds, and even home TV. Do not employ this if security or privacy are a consideration. Knowing the operating frequency of the wireless devices operating in your home will give you an idea. Anything that transmits a signal should have a frequency noted on the device some place. There are many individual operating frequencies within any particular band. Unless two devices operate on the exact same frequency you should be OK. I hope this helps.

Used the old speakers from my ancient Kenwood. For the rear surround speakers, used Amphony's 5.8 GHz Wireless Speaker Kit, Model 1540. I've had none of the buzzing or popping problems others have reported. I followed the instructions meticulously and was able to put the wireless receiver in an inconspicuous spot, but still line of sight. The wires from that receiver are concealed just above the baseboard in a Cordmate channel and then are fished up to the speakers (just above ear level).

I have this exact setup and it works fine. My soundbar has optical input, but my headphones are analog, so the second line from the splitter actually goes to an analog converter, which the wireless headphones connect to. Perfect sound in both the soundbar and the headphones.

It does not interfere with wifi, wifi interferes withe the rf signal from the box to the headset.

I have used mine on several computers, in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors.No problems to report.Just so we are on the same page, do you mean interference issues with other wireless devices on the same computer?Or within the same close vicinity like appliances, cordless phone, etc?I have not had any problems at all with mine.

I have had no interference at all and would highly recommend this speaker wire. I use this to connect my Bose system and my Definitive system and have nothing but praise for the quality and clarity. Hope this helps you.

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.
