Interference between z-wave and wifi devices
I just installed a Ring alarm system and immediately noticed that my wifi is much slower than before. The wifi router is a Netgear Nighthawk model, and I already had a netgear wifi extender set up in the network. After trying a bunch of different stuff to improve the wifi speed, I unplugged the Ring alarm range extender and my wifi took off (ie its fast again). Are there known issues between the alarm/zwave/extender and wifi (especially netgear routers) ? Any settings I can change in either system to make sure that there is little to no interference? Thx

Hi I have exactly the same issue. My router is on the ground floor and I have a 2ghz wifi extender on the first floor for work. This has worked fine with my Ring alarm system until this week I added a ring siren outside - suddenly my 1st floor wifi extender speed is fluctuating between 4 mbps to 19mbps - more often at the lower end - was previously 25 - 35 mbps - has anything else been found out about this issue?

From a technical persepctive, Ring alarm uses Z-Wave which operates on the 800-900MHz radio frequency range . . . no where near wifi. I hear what you are saying, but in theory there should be no interference. Gotta be something else going on.
