    Hey guys,

    I know i've answered alot of peoples problems about wireless before but this one got me stuck. I was working and a customer came in and asked me this question which stumped me. I didnt know how to answer, so i told him i'll get back to him about it.

    Anyways the question is:
    If placing two wireless routers about 2 feet away from each other would they interfer with each other's signal? (One Broadcasting G only and the other B and G)

    Help? I fell dumb asking that. :confused:

    Nope, they would make the signal a little stonger since both B and G operate on a 2.4GHz signal. Nick

    No, they would not interfere with each other.

    At work, we have around 3 or 4 wireless routers - no interference. ;)
