Head interferes with Wifi signal?

Sign in to disble this ad
My kids swear that when I am playing the signal from the Wifi router (about 6 feet away from my rig) drops out. It happens regardless whether I am on cable or wireless. And it gets worse with volume.

My rig: Orange Bass Terror (500 watts) Orange 1x15 and 2x10 cabs. I play a low-gain signal and modest volume.

Anyone else experience something like this? Is it related to the fact that Bass Terror has a tube pre?

I wonder if your router is on the same circuit..... Could be an issue!

Yep, those lightweights, with those high frequency switching circuits, could interfere with WiFi by injecting switching noise into the WiFi signal, either into the air directly or into the access point's WiFi "radio." Try reorienting the amp and/or the access point by 90 or 180 degrees. Also try reorienting the access point's antennas from vertical to horizontal. If the access point has two antennas, go into the setup routine and disable one of them (if it'll let you do that). Also try backing down to the next lowest WiFi standard on the access point: if it's N, set it to B+G; if it's B+G, set it to B only. There's a couple other things you can try but let's keep it simple for now.
