Hi Tom,
Foil sounds like a good idea, but I've never tried it. You might try
putting your router on the floor because the router noise stays pretty close
to the router itself. The noise also follows cables that hook to the router
and ferrite beads or donuts on the wire might help, but I haven't tried them
One thing that I should mention for general info is that I had to put an RF
filter on my Vonage router because the hissing noise from that adapter was
heard all over my house. A telephone filter like we use to block RF from
bothering neighbors phones did the trick..

Bob:
I agree with you about distance as being the best solution with router RF
interference, but I am experienceing a similar problem in my office at
Ferris. As you may remember, that office is small, and I just have nowhere
to go. I may just try the tin foil trick someone recommended earlier.
I have a router at Ferris so that I can have a network connection for both
the main office PC, and my laptop.
Guess there are pros and cons with everything.
