Microwave causes drop out

Answered
Tom Dorow

I have an Orbi RBS850 router with a satellite and using the BluOS module in my NAD integrated amp.  Since BluOS is on my 2.5Ghz band whenever I use the kitchen microwave I loose the signal to my NAD because the microwave is also at 2.5 Ghz. I need to get the BluOS device onto my 5Ghz band but it doesn't seem like that is possible.  Any ideas?

    The microwave in my kitchen used to regularly knock out the Pulse until I set up a Deco mesh unit and wired the Pulse to it. I'd tried a powerline connector but discovered it wasn't as reliable as the Deco has proven. I don't think the NAD supports 5 gHz, at least the BluOS modules on my M33 and C368 do not.

    Hi Brian

    The BluOS 2i MDC is dual-band... we started producing that card in 2019. That replaced the BluOS 2 MDC which was 2.4Ghz only. That may be in your NAD C368 but your NAD Masters Series M33 would have been shipped with the 2i version...

    Easy check - does it do AirPlay? If it does, it's dual-band. No AirPlay means 2.4 only...

    Thanks for the correction, my mistake Tony. Since my M33 is wired I hadn't bothered to check. The C368 is the older MDC card, no Airplay and no dual-band.
