Good afternoon Mark. I had the same 'birdie' problem with switches over the years. I now have a hybrid Linksys router model number wrt54gs. I've had this router in the shack for years, and never had a 'birdie' problem, even on S band. What is also great about this router is you can download free firmware to extend it's range, if needed. I will need this feature at my girlfriends house where she has a lot of neighbors competing for the wireless channels. I just bought one for her place for $46 at Wal-Mart today. When I get it installed , if needed, she will have a big signal.

Hello All,
I know this was discussed before, but I want to bring it up again.
Does anybody have a Linksys wireless router/4-port hub that does NOT make ugly noises around 145.870 MHz (and the satellite portion of 2M in general)?
I don't want a D-Link (bad previous experience), and I prefer Linksys; but I would consider some other brand.
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
