RE: [amsat-bb] 100BaseT Woes

["Greg D." <ko6th_greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Emily,

Well, it's all coming from the router; 100BT itself is not the problem.  I 
have a Netgear FM114P router with an 802.11b Wi-Fi link, 100BT ports, etc., 
and have no problem with interference from it.

The drop in interference when you unplug the cables is like removing the 
antenna from a transmitter; it's still a transmitter inside.  You might try 
putting a good set of ferrite on the cables, to see if you can absorb the 
energy.  Otherwise, tell Linksys that they have a problem with that product.

Good luck,

Greg  KO6TH
