SmartMeter and Interference?
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:47 pm
It seems that since a Smart Meter was installed, I periodically get kicked offline. My router is in my office, right on the other side of the wall from the meter.
I have also heard a loud, long burst of static on my cordless phone if I am on a call at roughly the same times of day I seem to get kicked off. Bzzzzzzzzzzt! Can't hear through it, so I assume that an internet connection would suffer as well.
My only other live phone line for the router is in the kitchen, which I understand is not ideal due to the grease in the air that gets deposited on things (even with infrequent cooking).
Any ideas?
