Having issues with interference and my router/wifi. I've tried changing channels in my router settings, but still same thing. Any suggestions?

I found a solution. First I tried every channel, no luck, terrible internet throughput. This was on 802.11b/g, which is on the same band (2.4GHz). My solution was to config my home router to 802.11a (5GHz). Now that wifi and this monitor are on totally different bands, they don't interfere and internet performance is good again. Home router is a Netscreen SSG5, which is a power-user (or Enterprise) class "branch-office" router.

We too were unable to utilize our Wi-Fi when the monitor was on, and we dealt with it for many months. But I found a solution, by accident, but it worked: I saw that my neighbor wi-fi signal and mine were all overlapping on channel 6, so I logged into my wi-fi router by typing the IP address for it in my web-browser (this is how you probably initially set it up some time ago) and change the CHANNEL from "Automatic" to a specific channel...in my scenario i changed it to channel 1. After I did that we get no interference from the monitor and can use wi-fi and monitor seamlessly. Hope this helps. Also, we have a Verizon FIOS router (n) technology.

Changing to channel 1 in router gets me about 1.6 Mbps down when monitor is on. Other channels I get even less. When monitor is off I pull down over 15 Mbps. Only good option I see is using 5 ghz but not all devices can handle it. I love the monitor but its a wifi killa'

I was just experiencing issues. Went into my Apple Time Capsule router and changed to channel 1, did the trick!

This baby monitor creates problems with most wifi networks. But, if you set your router to channel 1 or 15 that will give the best results. For me, changing my router from channel 6 to 1 made a HUGE improvement. Run a network speed test to after changing your channel to see if its better or worse.

Use a 5ghz network for all devices that are wireless n network capable, which will increase your speed significantly. For devices that are only wireless g network (2.4 ghz), try choosing another channel such as 1 or 6. Our PS3 is only 2.4 ghz capable, and it makes watching movies or streaming very very slow. Sometimes we just open the door to the nursery and turn off the monitor if we want to stream for a few hours.

ridiculous interferences regardless of channel settings on routers. any device sitting next to the monitor will not get any signal whatsoever. now it sits in my drawer.

Created interference with my wireless network. I tried changing the configuration on the router to automatically choose the best channel. This worked for awhile but then I started having problems accessing the internet again. Problem went away as soon as I pulled the plug on the dock. BTW the headphones were not in use, they were charging while I experienced trouble with the wi-fi.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

My WIFI used to reset frequently, it was very annoying, almost unusable. I believe this started to happen after the latest driver update because before that it was just OK. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the computer, followed all recommendations on all websites and nothing. Then I found that my router was transmitting the same SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, decided to change the SSID on one of them and voila... all problems gone.

Same thing happened to me. I sent it back and got another and it was just a bad. The only way to fix it is send it back and buy a different router. This one is junk.

I have a similar problem with Verizon FIOS, cuts my band width in half. I found out it was not the repeater and a known limitation on Verizon's end. I also heard the same thing for ATT customers

They are very sensitive. We have yet to get a channel that doesn't have interference. Not sure if this is coming from our Wi-Fi but not entirely happy with the purchase because of the reception.

My recommendation is to follow the directions EXACTLY, step by step, if it says turn everything off, do it. I have set up plenty of wireless routers and assumed I knew what I was doing, and couldn't get it to work. Then I went back and followed the directions step by step and it's worked like a charm ever since.

If you happen to have interference on your Wi-Fi network try changing the channel of your Wi-Fi router.

Have you tried removing the antenna? That is about the only thing I can figure might help with that particular model. I have had a similar issue because it picks up some of my local stations and throws me off but without the antenna it seemed a bit better.

Just had u-verse installed today (switching over from DirecTV). Never had this issue with the direct cable box but now all of a sudden this TV interferes with the U-verse box. When the TV is off the box works fine (you can see the channel switching ligt is working) but when the TV goes on I have to get to within 2 feet of the box to change channels. No help from either Samsung or U-verse!

Mine sometimes have the same problem. I turn it off for like 30 seconds then back on. If that don't work I turn off the Wi-Fi setting then back on. Sometimes you might have to restart your router tho. Hope this helps

The WiFi circuit is poor. Try moving it or use a longer HDMI cable. It can make a big difference. If no joy, Try a wifi extender.

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

hi, in my experience with this model, anything that crosses in between the units creates an interference! try an hdmi extender from your source so that the sender is also above anything that might cross in between them, also the most common interferences with this units are wireless routers, high band phones and microwave sources. aputure will launch a wireless unit good for 100 meters with zero delay and full hd this summer for less than 500 usd, wait for it and stop suffering.

So, unless it's close to your router it drops the signal constantly. Perhaps it is just my tv, but I have seen other users say the same thing.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.
