[magnets]

People brought this up in the Einstein 2012 thread, and they realized three things.

1. 3.6GHz is a licensed channel, so first would have to pay.
2. The problems (excluding those of Einstein 2012) aren't caused by interfering signals.
3. If implemented properly, normal 802.11n should work fine, even with lots of other networks happening at the same time. Instead of making it more complicated to fix the problem, FIRST should resolve the current issue.

Overall, the 3.6GHz solution requires too much work (money, new radios...) in order for something that may not be the right solution, may make the situation worse, or could be resolved another way.

That being said, using a different frequency would be great. The old IFI radios were 900MHz, and had a pretty decent bandwidth, more than what we need for control data. The camera data could still be sent over wifi, and they even make axis cams with built in wifi.
