| 1289520 | 2012-11-05 04:30:00 | I've got a Belkin, G Plus MIMO Router - F5D9230-4 Had it for several years and has been very reliable. I'm thinking of getting a new wifi capable TV - will this router be capable of delivering blue ray quality movie files from my upstairs office to downstairs TV (not very far physically) | Fishb8 (484) | ||
| 1289521 | 2012-11-05 04:34:00 | Bluray peaks around 20mbps, so yes, provided you have good signal. Otherwise, you may want to look into N-Wireless. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

However, it used to be that microwave signals could interfere with the 2.4GHz band of routers, reducing transmission speeds. Newer routers should automatically adjust the channel, but you can manually adjust the channel if you think you could have interference - just switch to one where the transfers speeds are maximal. |

Thanks Zara, much appreciated. Finally getting around to setting up the new router and modem. |

| 1289525 | 2012-11-13 22:36:00 | I wouldn't recommend placing a router near a microwave or other source of RF like a cordless phone if you can avoid it. It won't damage it but it could cause connection or speed issues as Zara mentioned and although adjusting the channel might fix the issue it might not so it's better avoided where possible. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1289526 | 2012-11-13 23:08:00 | Mmm or if all your devices use N-Wireless on the 5Ghz bands | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
