Our Router was working beautifully until we purchased a new Panasonic Blu-Ray home theater system SC-BT100. It has wireless rear speakers that seem to be interfering with the same broadcast frequency as the router. Both our computers (one PC Windows XP and one MAC OS 10.4) show that the router is still connected, but are unable to access the network or the internet. We have to restart and restore the router, modem and computers for it to start working again.What is the solution? They both run on 2.4 GHz I would guess which might contribute to the issue, but when I change the wireless channel (between 1-11) on the router manually, the same problem seems to occur. Help, did Dlink foresee this issue? Any FAQ or troubleshooting resolution yet? Thanks

No, I've seen this before, the speakers will cause interference.
There's really not much that can be done, try staticly assigning a channel to the router that the speakers are not using, that might help.

Almost impossible to let them coexist peacefully, try to find the least affected channel. These audio jocks should keep clear from these frequencies. As if the sound they produce already isn't enough disturbing my peace

Channels 1, 6, and 11 are your only real choices. Set the router to 11 and the speakers to 1 if you can. That's why the industry needs to switch to 802.11A (5GHz). There are way too many devices on the 2.4GHZ band, including your microwave and wireless phones. Not to mention your neighbor's wireless router...

They should make a law against (my) neighbours (radius 1 km) having a wireless device

or increase the available spectrum

My option does bring some other advantages though
