ItemsThatCanCauseInterferencewithAirPort

The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause a problem.
The following can interfere with AirPort communication:

Â

Microwave ovens

Â

Direct Satellite Service (DSS) radio frequency leakage

Â

The original coaxial cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes. Contact the
device manufacturer and obtain newer cables.

Â

Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power
stations.

Â

Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 or 5 GHz range. If you have problems
with your phone or AirPort communication, change the channel your base station or
Time Capsule uses, or change the channel your phone uses.

Â

Nearby base stations using adjacent channels. For example, if base station A is set to
channel 1, base station B should be set to channel 6 or 11.
