ItemsThatCanCauseInterferencewithAirPort
The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause a problem. The
following items can cause interference with AirPort communication:
Â
Microwave ovens
Â
Direct Satellite Service (DSS) radio frequency leakage
Â
The original coaxial cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes. Contact the
device manufacturer and obtain newer cables.
Â
Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power
stations
Â
Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 or 5 GHz range. If you have problems
with your phone or AirPort communication, change the channel your base station or
AirPort Extreme uses, or change the channel your phone uses.
Â
Nearby base stations using adjacent channels. For example, if base station A is set to
channel 1, base station B should be set to channel 6 or 11.
