I'm surprised at the issues with the networking equipment. The reason is that I'm running a Speedstream DSL modem (from AT&T), a Cisco 860 Ethernet router, and Windows Server computer, along with 2 other windows boxes within 3 feet of my GRE PSR500 w/o any real problems. As for the wireless, I've also got a Linksys WAP01 access point within 5 feet of said PSR500, again w/o any real problems. I've also got it connected to an external anntenna, which (I find) really improves the reception. Granted there is a bit of overload in the frontend, but I can live with it. As for the network cables, I'm simply using regular unshielded twisted pair cables, (granted, the longest one I'm using is about 15 feet total). I'd also like to hear others views/opinions on this issue.
