Networking Router near a speaker(magnet) ??

I've asked this question in the networking/router newsgroups and those
guys give conflicting answers so I wanted to ask you guys since you'd
probably know better.

Almost everyone in the etworking/router newsgroups say the problem I
have has nothing to do with my router being near my speakers.

My router is on top of one of my stereo speakers. It's a 50 watt
speaker and is not being used AS I use the router. The router sits
there. I do get pretty good speeds BUT I notice a great deal of
latency at all hours of the day.

I've tried moving the router farther away from that speaker but due to
short wires I cannot get it any further than 6-10 feet away.

Could placing my router atop my stereo speaker cause any issues like
this?

If so, could someone explain this to me?

thank you.

p.s. if you need some manufacter/model details just ask, I'll try to
find what I can.

No. They are idiots.

No argument there. The OP may want to pick up a copy of PingPlotter to
see where the latency is occurring (between which hops) and get a graph
of latency vs time for his route to the destination IP.

They offer a freeware version; the standard version is inexpensive and
provides some useful options.

Several of us used PingPlotter a few years ago to prove to Verizon On
Line (DSL provider) that the minutes-long dropouts we were experiencing
were NOT premise phone line problems and NOT even central office (CO)
issues but were upstream of the local COs. Enough people with
simultaneous packet losses past Verizon's 10.x.x.x routing point finally
convinced them to do more than recommend that end users check their DSL
filters.

Very unlikely. However..... All routers are not created equal.

A Cisco router, don't even think about this causing your problem. A router
from %^$@&&#$ in China. Who knows.

No. If it's not being used how could it?

The only thing is the magnet, right? But do you realize that almost all of
the magnetic field is concentrated in the metal frame of the speaker?

You have other problems like a bad connection, bad modem, bad isp, etc...
You need to get your local tech support to come out and fix it. Demand it
when you speak with customer support.
