AM radio interference from Netgear router

How close is the radio to the router? Put the radio on the other side of the room and see if that helps. Make sure that you turn frequently so that the microwaves will cook you consistently.

I am not a fan of wireless as the power goes up so does the risk. We found at work with our 5 watt radios that there was a risk of damage when transmitting next to your head. We all got remote mikes from Risk Management the next month. You decide if it is worth it to you, wired for me.

I have heard of this with Netgear routers. When I replaced mine with a Linksys, my noise problem went away. Assuming what I have heard is true, the Netgear router uses a switch mode power supply, which produces the noise, and your cable acts as an antenna. A change in antenna length or orientation, or the load at its end (the modem) may affect the signal - so testing elsewhere is inconclusive. If the above is true, the remedy starts with proper grounding. Your router may be powered by a wall wart transformer, and have a ground lug on the back, like mine was. I could hear the difference in my ham radio when I connected the ground lug to various places using a jumper with alligator clips at each end. I never did get rid of it completely until I installed the Linksys.

Use common mode chocks on all cables and cords coming from or going to the router and/our power supply.

Henry, I have a Linksys wireless router. It produces no noticable interferrence on am, fm, tv, or my ham radio receiver.

Sounds to me that you have a defective router.
