Has anyone use this to detect RF interference for a Wi-Fi network? Trying to find a good place to relocate a wireless router at a local business.

It will detect a wifi signal at close range like within 3 - 6 ft. However, it will not tell you the band it's on so it won't help you determine wife interference. Similarly, if you're looking to sniff out RF signals it will find those but again it won't indicate a band to switch from. However, if you're just trying to determine if there's a strong RF signal in the location of your wireless antenna it'll give you an indication of that.

Hi RosemaryNJ , since wireless signal is subject to wireless interferences, you may try tweaking on the channel settings found on the router's setup page. Just access the setup page through 192.168.1.1, click on the Wireless tab. Look for the channel settings and try changing it to 11,9 3 or 1 (considered as non-overlapping channels).

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.

Gary I did have some interference because I had the device near my video card in a Cooler Master Elite 110 case which was so compact finding clear spot was a challenge. I finally put it on the other side of the case away from the video card. From the front of the elite 110 case I put it front right that had space and few interference. I had tested it with an older D-link USB wifi and it worked with out a problem.

I'm not sure that they will help you. You may need to shield the cables. You can try wrapping your current wires with aluminum foil and see if that helps. Wireless interference can come from multiple sources and can be difficult to find.

I only use it at home, not in a business, but I don't see why this would not work. Just be sure to choose a wireless channel that is not being used in the neighborhood (download the app Wifi Analizer and see what are the channels currently in use nearby). If all channels are already being used, choose the one that has less wifi networks connected to. This definitely improves the wireless quality!

I have not noticed any RF interference in the house while using the induction burner (cell phones, radios, wireless router, etc...)

Yes, worked for me very well, and more than that - i developed custom application that will detect spectrum changes (new transmissions).But decoding complex signals probably will have problems, Raspberry CPU power is limited.

Just how old is your router? This never really had an issue with WiFi... The issue was with people with old routers.

I have not had any interference with my Wifi, Base unit for PiSector and wifi modem are in the same room, 15 feet from each other, I use my laptop and cell on wifi in the same room all the time

Sometimes wireless devices can interfere with each other. I moved a Bluetooth speaker on my desk and the problem went away.

I have not experienced any issues with this product. I woild recommend this product for use at home or business. No interference issues either. At first i was doubtful about this product, but am highly satisfied. It works well to woth my linksys router.

I just tried this with antennas from a dual-band router. I got a 20-25% drop in signal, but it still worked fine. It is important to note however that my desktop is a true desktop i.e. it is located on my desk's surface, and not the floor.

The antenna is shared by both the WiFi and Bluetooth radios. I use them both, a lot, and haven't had any problems with interference. I have had problems getting a good WiFi signal to my computer in the past. But, with this card/antenna, I get four bars. Great performance at a great price. I guess my answer turned into a 'review'. Lol

Well if it is not reading signals you are probably not close enough. The range is horrible on this thing. With that being said make sure you are searching from within the program they installed on your comp

Yes, there is a possibility of wireless interference. The monitor broadcasts on 2.4 GHz and some routers run on the same frequency (we have a Qwest Q1000 and it does get interference). Check to see what you wireless router uses to see if there is a conflict.

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.
