Has anybody ever had any computer problems due to keying up the radio in the same room as computer? We have a router that keeps freezing up, and my roommate is wondering if it's my cb transmissions interfering with it. It is a wireless router, but we are still using cables. I DO NOT use any amplifiers.

I personally don't think my cb has anything do to with the router problem, but just thought I'd ask here if anybody has heard of a problem between the two gadgets! Thanks!

I get talkback through my computer speakers...

no doubt it could cause a problem... I work in an ISP and have seen legal HAMs cause dial-up connections to fail.

Just one of those things.

Bruce, I'll bet your wireless Keyboard is in the CB band somewhere. I have a Mircrosoft wireless mouse that, whenever moved, disrupts channel 15 (only that channel) on CB. --Kirk

Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the router, but I'm still not quite sure where the problem is coming from, but about 99% sure it's a faulty router!
