2.4GHz Interference

[connorm]

so, i have had a d link dir 655 for about 4 years now, i am one of the people lucky enough to have the b2 hardware (i think thats code name). I have always used it in the same room as my turtle beach x31 headset, my headset uses the 2.4 band to send audio from my xbox to the headset wirelessly. i could move 20 megs down on the d link and get basically 0 interferance, however i can simply connect my iphone to the 2.4 on the rt-ac66u, open twich(hd stream 2-3mbps), and immediately my headset starts popping and crackling like crazy. the other night it gave me the worst headache and made me feel like i was gonna get braincancer, i have the 2.4 completely off on the asus untill i solve this, and i have tried every setting u can think off

my question is, is this a problem unique to me

or do other users with the same router have this issue aswell

assuming they do, i wonder if this could simply be caused by the fact that this router has 450 2.4GHz and my old on only had 300.

or could it be just a simple problem with the 2.4GHz radio, i mean i knew the router wasnt wifi certified, but if anything, the AC should be the problem, not 2.4GHz N, wich i have no learned this router has none of the wifi standards certified, but when i went to wifi alliance i can see they already have there new flagship router (rt-ac68u) certified, is it not possible they still certify these models, or is it not possible after release, i feel this interferance issue would not exist if the router were wifi certified, i also think its possibly detrimental to my health as my ears and head ached for so long after being basically zapped by this router, if i get cancer im blaming asus, but kinda wanting to return this and wait for the new one, or just get the d link dir 868l and buy from a company that actually knows how to make certified products

Make sure you set the 2.4 GHz band to 20 Mhz channel width max. Try with channel 1, and if you still get interference, simply move to channel 11. The interference occurs because you have two things using channels that are too close to one another.

cant be because i have 2 things using channels that are to close to one another, or the d link would cause the same problem, the d link can be on 20/40, or just 20, any channel, 11,6,1 ,right now i have the d link set to 1, it goes to 1 and 5 untill it notices other networks causing problems (friendly neighbor rules), also tried 20mhz channels with the asus, no dif, it gets interference at 1-2mbps throughput letalone the 20-40mbps the d link gets with 0 interference with same settings on same channels, i believe its because the device is not wifi certified

i also should have noted i have the asus set on channel 11

i feel like the d link is telling my headset rf transmitter, HEY, IM ON CHANNEL 1 AND 5, STAY AWAY, and the asus router is telling it nothing just sitting there herping and derping, hopefully my explanation made sense

edit i did try the asus on channel 1 and it seems to have fixed it for now, wonder why my d link doesnt have these problems on any channel
