Interferes With Computer Wireless

on December 23, 2008

Posted by: Brine

from Santa Cruz, CA

First of all, I AM a Best Buy fan. They do a good job and I shop at Best Buy.

The product is super easy to set up. Volume control balances speakers nicely, however this system is the Japanese Fighting Fish of 2.4 G wireless bandwidth. It will fight your Linksys router to the death. Your wireless network will fail after three minutes. Turn off the transmitter and your wireless network shall return.

Powering down the wireless speaker adapter and then powering them back up will not solve the problem for more than three minutes. They seem to have veto powers over wireless routers.

Remember in Highlander where the quote is, "There can be only ONE!" Same thing. You either get your computer wireless network OR your wireless speakers, BUT not both.

I suggest you run wires.

Seriously.

Our President said, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, don't get fooled again."

I feel equally silly.

Are you still reading this? You have the information you need.

Run wires.

Am I still typing? I am.

I am typing in a pool of my own shame.

Are you reading this on a home wireless network? Well kiss that goodbye if you purchase this product you are researching.

I am not being spiteful here. I'm just really disappointed.

Good luck and live with your choice. I did. YOU don't have to.

What's great about it: Good solution for existing speakers, easy to set up.

What's not so great: This systems kills your wireless home computer network.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
