Wifi Interference

Recently, i have noticed a lot of wifi interference in my area, dont know whether its due to the area being more popluated, or something else, this is really one disadvantage of long distance wifi, although short range, in homes wont be affected much, apart from the microwaves and the 2.4 gigs cordless fones.

You can make out all the disturbance that is coming into your wifi network very easily by buying a Spectrum Analyzer or SWR meter.The spectrum analyzer will analyze the RF wifi signals in your area and show you the noise and from which channel it is coming.Spectrum Analyzers are not that expensive, anywhere from the 100$ to very expensive ones, offering advanced analyzing capabilites.But personally i recommend the 100$ price range Spectrum Analyzers, as they will do.

If you intend to do long range wifi networking, then do ensure that you have atleast one yagi antenna and amplifiers of around 250mW on both ends, as this will boost up the signal.
