Default Ethernet Router RFI

One more thing you might try, is to line the inside with aluminum foil
thats at ground potential...
I have just checked mine for rf emissions using my Standard C168A as it
has a very good front end. I have found that I get more rf from my
laptop(s, than my desktop(s)/server(s)that have all metal cases. There
is very little from my network connections..

After several months of just not listening to my 2 meter base station, I
finally took time to find the source of the interference that held the
squelch open on the repeater channel I listen to most often. Turned out it
was my Dlink DI-604 router. I borrowed a Linksys NR-041 router from my
neighbor and it works a little better. I can now listen to the 145.390
repeater, not because the Linksys puts out no RFI, but only because it puts
it out in a different place (mostly in the 146.46-146.58 range). I will
probably invest in a newer router, probably wireless. Question I have is
does anyone have any experience with the new breed of wireless routers that
are reasonable clean in the RFI/2 meter spectrum? Thanks.
