Do the wireless speakers associated with new home theater systems interfere with home wireless networks?

Asked by shilolo (18075points) September 12th, 2009

I’m looking to buy a new home theater system. Rather than running wires to rear speakers, I want to get wireless speakers. However, I’ve heard that they can interfere with wireless networks. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this a big problem, and/or can it be minimized?

There are now 2-Band routers. Check and see if you can run the speakers at one frequency and your 802.11 on a second.

Depends on the connection, but you could probably buy a device to sort those signals into individual channels. It might be okay.

Yeah, I’m running a Time Capsule, which is a dual band router. I’ll check some of the Apple message boards.
