Default Wireless doorbell & BT Homehub


"Allan" wrote in message ...
Sister has had BT Homehub for a while and seems to work fine.

She recently purchased a Wireless doorbell (Byron SX-14 http://www.chbyron.eu/ ) for various reasons, and it seems to be
interfering with the Homehub's connection (the lights go from normal/blue to brown/flashing/disconnected/reconnecting), so the
Homehub looses the connection to the net. (This is completely separate from any issues that her laptop might have with the
wireless connection to the router).

Apart from changing the Homehub (which is slightly draconian, but could happen in the future, but not immediately), does anyone
have any suggestions on how to ensure the Homehub doesn't loose the connection.

TIA

Actually it's very surprising indeed that a wireless doorbell operating at hundreds
of megahertz is interfering with ADSL which occupies a band from a few tens of
kilohertz up to less than 2,000 kilohertz

Take nothing for granted. Is it the transmitter (bellpush) that is causing the interference,
or the receiver (bell unit)? take the battery out of the latter, and operate the former to test.

Can you post the make/model of the doorbell so I can perhaps see the frequencies and technologies
involved?
