Advise needed.

I have a Virgin Superhub (cable wireless hub in UK), a centrino adv 6230 in my laptop, and a USB Soundblaster Wireless set up to my audio system.
The SB interferes with the wireless hub signal. I can change band to 5Ghz and the problem is solved, however this is not ideal as other devices which can only use 2.4GHz cannot connect.

I have tried manually selecting different channels on both the wireless hub and the SB to no avail.

Anyone know of away I can use the 2.4 GHz band, and not have a conflict between the wireless hub and the SB?

Thanks

Your best option is to set the channels as far apart as possible and make sure no one else in the area is running the same channel near you. You may also try dropping the power if you can on the router but this may not be an option.

Tried the distant channel change earlier. No sucess. The only way I can remove the interference is by changing fhe hub to 5 GHz band.
