SUBJECT:

Interference with other 2.4 GHz wireless devices

QUESTION:

The problem is that since I plugged in the NDC wireless AP, I have been unable to use my Casi 2.4 Ghz cordless phone and also my 2.4 Ghz X10 Video Sender devices. The X10 video sender gets horrible interferance from the wireless AP which is downstairs. I unplug the wireless AP and everything is ok, plug it, Chaos, unplug, ok, plug it, problem.

ANSWER:

Our current wireless LAN products and some other wireless consumer digital appliances use the same RF frequency (2.4 GHz). Therefore, the interference between them is unavoidable.

Some of the wireless consumer digital appliances use only a little bandwidth within the FCC ISM band range, i.e. 2.4-2.483 GHz. They can work at the same time by using different bands. The wireless LAN products with the DSSS technology use all bandwidth from 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. So, it will interfere with another wireless device using some bandwidth within the FCC ISM 2.4GHz band
range.

p.s.
Wireless LAN's are billed on the basis of installed equipment cost, once in place there are no charges for use of the network. The network communications take place in a part of the radio spectrum that is designated as "license free". In this band, 2.4-2.483 GHz, users can
operate without a license so long as they use equipment that has been type approved for use in the license free bands.
