I turned off the wireless router last night and have not had a "lockup" since.
Ha! Funny.
I don't know if older wireless mouse and keyboard (some 8 years old) get any kind of interference from the newer wireless gear.
Could be...
I also have bluetooth on my other PC but again I am unsure if this would interfear with wireless mouse and keyboard from 7 or 8 years ago.
The only way to guess is to get the the frequency used from the data sheets. If they are close, or perhaps one double of the other, then there are chances. If one of them acts up when the other one is activated, then yes, you have got interferences. That's the proof. Real proof would require some expensive equipment.
Anyone got any experience of this kind of playing up of wireless technology ?
I'm supposedly a telecommunications chap, but I have always distrusted wireless technology and never use it, unless there is no alternative. Haven't you read a sticker on equipment saying something like the device will not produce harmful interference and must accept interference from others, or something of the sort? Well, you have it...
I have also now remembered that on my laptop running XP Home/Kubuntu dual boot system my mouse pointer would jump to one of the corners every now and then. This would happen when you least expect it. With my wired mouse it would not happen. So this is 2 PC's that have a weird problem.
Is this some type of RF interference again ?
Can be that, or can be the optical problem John mentions. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
