Re: WNHDEB111 Review and Impression
said by chucko  :Considering that these units are operating in the "interference free" 5GHZ band and are automatically supposed to select the best channel to use I find this to be totally amazing. As a point of interest in your home environment are you using any wireless phones that transmit in the 5.8 GHz range and or do you have any other wireless gear [baby monitors, remote control devices, security monitors, etc.] that uses the 5.8 GHz range?

Bedford, MA | I just remember that I have a pair of 5.8GHz wireless phones. Does that mean this kit will not work in my house? |

| I have no 5GHZ wireless phones in my home, so I doubt that interference is an issue with the problems that I experienced.
Besides, here is what I read from the product documentation:
9. How does it enable HD performance over wireless?
"WNHDE111 uses high performance 6 internal MetaMaterial antennas to be able to stream HD video seamlessly even in harsh wireless environments. It uses the 5 GHz band which is relatively interference free. It uses Smart Antenna technology to listen and adapt to the wireless environment. It also has an enhanced level of Quality of Service (QOS) for jitter-free Video Streaming and lag-free video gaming."
This plus the fact that there are up to 23 available channels in the 5GHZ band would lead a person to believe that there would be minimal issues with other equipment.
I did manually change the channels on my units just to see if it had any positive effect, it did not.
I probably just got a defective unit. Nothing else seems to make sense. |

My interest in asking chucko was to determine if s/he may have had other stuff using the same 5.8 GHz frequency.
If the Netgear WNHDEB111 works as it should then other stuff using the same 5.8 GHz frequency range but different transmit channels 'the gear' should all co-exist. The Key word is if
