Random pops and thunder from wirelessly connected dswpro440wi

Ewmav

Just set up new speakers in our family room - 5.1 with a Yamaha receiver and a dswpro440wi with the Polk wireless conversion kit. The sound is quit good, but we get periodic pops and what sounds remarkably like thunder even with the inputs shut down. Assume this is wifi static, but not sure how to troubleshoot it. Appreciate any pointers.
Happy Thanksgiving to all

Do you have any other wireless devices in the house ?

Ewmav

Sure do. Apple wifi, supporting 4 laptops and a back up system, plus a Samsung blue ray player.

And.....there ya go. Too many wireless devices can interfere with each other. My guess is the bdp. Don't know how you have it all wired up, by a single router or something else but you can change the channel on the router and reconnect everything on that channel to try and minimize the interference. Or just get a wired sub.

Switching the channels can work. The best solution is if all of your laptops and bluray support 802.11n 5GHz, and then you can switch your wireless network to only support 5GHz. The biggest problem with this is often portable devices like iPhones and iPods which only support 2.4GHz.
