Items That Can Cause Interference With AirPort The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause a problem. The following items can cause interference with AirPort communication: • Microwave ovens • DSS (Direct Satellite Service) radio frequency leakage • The original coaxial cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes. Contact the device manufacturer and obtain newer cables. • Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations • Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) range. If you have problems with your phone or AirPort communication, change the channel of your base station. • Other AirPort networks • Adjacent base stations using nearby channels. If base station A is set to channel 1, base station B should be set to channel 4 or higher. • Moving objects that temporarily place metal between your computer and the base station 68 Chapter 5 Behind the Scenes

•
The original coaxial cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes. Contact the
device manufacturer and obtain newer cables.
•
Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power
stations
•
Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) range. If you have
problems with your phone or AirPort communication, change the channel of your
base station.
•
Other AirPort networks
•
