519148 2007-01-25 07:36:00 Just wondering.... If i place a wireless router in a small room, and has a washing machine, hot water cyclinder, and water pipes, all that within 2meter radius, would i get a large amount of interference? Im asking becos i cant have a physical check on the issue yet.

Thanks :)

You *may* get diminished signal levels if the said devices act as a faraday shield and physically block the signal path, but that entirely depends on the location of the device relative to the WiFi. And if the walls are foil lined, or reinforced concrete or....

Yes, I also have a drier next to the washing machine and so far, no problems at all. The signal does diminish in terms of distance faster than it would/should, be no problems so far. Speed is OK, (I'm with Woosh and have a Linksys MIMO router) so do give it a go. beeswax34 (63)
