FM Reception and wireless router problem

J

jras20

I have a problem with trying to DX out to 96.1 to San antonio, My Wireless router is interfering with the station, I can hear the noise going in and out. I really don't want to move the antenna (which is in the attic) because it can pull in about what I want it to. I really don't have a place I can set my router. I did look at a few wireless settings and changed up the channel and wide band to auto, that cleared some, but still not enough. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks.

Shut the router off. :(

Seriously, since I do pretty much all my DXing, from the home studio where I do most of my work in, surrounded by multiple computers, monitors, drawing tablets, routers, etc, etc, there's a lot of interference. Shutting off (and unplugging) certain items, which I don't need at the time, does seem to help!

Try some ferrite cores on both ends of every cable that goes in or out of the router...especially the power supply.
 
So that is the noise I hear coming from every area there is wireless. Why does something that is supposed to produce a radio signal in the 2.4 GHz band put out noise in the 88-108 mhz FM band. Does nobody care about interference anymore?

Wish it was that simple, but I need wireless on all the time, being working in a computer work. I guess I can work with the antenna a little and see what I can do.
