[QUOTE="Don Boomer, post: 84579, member: 633"] Re: A cautionary tale against buying the line6 digital wireless Hey Phil The mode that you are running in is likely the problem. The new generation of XDV default to RF mode 2 straight out of the box. This is the mode intended to work alongside Wi-Fi but in this mode you MUST scan before assigning channels and just like about everything else, in this mode you must operate the system in a clear channel. In RF1 mode XDV operates in the 4 channel mode. And that's likely why you see some responses to your post that users are having no problems with XDV70's. The 70's run in RF1 mode (unless they have been updated). RF1 mode is much more robust and bulletproof ... but ... if you try to run more than about 4 channels of Line 6 wireless you will probably slow down wi-fi in the room to an unacceptable crawl. There are only so many cars you can drive down the freeway and in this case you are running out of bandwidth. You can likely run a dozen Line 6 units in RF1 mode but you will likely shut down wi-fi in the same venue. Wi-fi is just not as smart and almost always looses in this case. So to help out users that must use both wireless and wi-fi at the same time we added the RF2 mode. This mode runs switching between only 2 frequencies so it doesn't fill up the band as much but it is also a lot less resistant from taking interference hits from wi-fi. If you run a single wi-fi channel in a room than you can likely run eight Line 6 units at the same time without either interfering with each other. But in this case you MUST select those channels carefully either by scanning or by selecting from the list in the owner's manual.. Now if you need to run say six wi-fi channels in a room for some reason you will probably have very poor luck running Line 6 in RF2 mode at the same time. However switching over to RF1 mode should take care of most situations but then the problem will be the wi-fi. Now switching the wi-fi over to 802.11N and running at 5GHz will take care of everything (and double the throughput speed of the wi-fi at the same time) :) Don Boomer Line 6, Inc. [/QUOTE]
