Wifi ranger interferes with OTA HDTV

[mac1_131]

Here's a new one I am experiencing.

My wifi ranger is the newer Teton with hdtv ant, am/fm ant, wifi and LTE antennas all under one dome.

I've just proven wifi ranger interferes a little with over the air hdtv reception.

Not a ton, but noticeable when hdtv signals are weak, like most of the time.

So just a word to the wise, if you are pixellating and need the best OTA reception, try switching the Wi-Fi ranger off.

Yes mine does it also. With the WIFI turned on my TV image goes to crap.
Some kind of interference. Has a good image when the WFFI is turned off.
I think because putting the antenna in with the Teton is new they did not expect this. I'd bet there are many more than just us with this new set up that have this issue.

Mine interferes and it is a separate antenna.

I would expect them to interfere a bit. Frequency’s aren’t too far off depending on lte channel.

One of the reasons I mounted my LTE antenna on the back of the coach.

Our last unit I installed a Winegard Connect 2.0 and it had both built in. Worked great with no issues at all. They must have done something to avoid this same issue. Now that they own WIFI Ranger this is one for them to fix.
So where are you WIFI RANGER / WINEGARD?

That makes sense to me now. Even at home, I've gone from 32 channels to 5 and didn't think about the possible interference. If I mounted a portable antenna to the ladder, what input would I connect it to on the outside, or is this even possible?
