Well, being that our router will now have to come out of the basement it will be away from most things. I'll have to tell them to not put it near a motor.

I also hadn't thought about connection issues. That's a good point.

Thanks for the responses.

From having spent many hours in an EMC test lab, I definitely recommend you take Alan's advice. I sometimes view the AC motor drives I do R&D on (88-2000 hp) as noise generators that are their own worst enemy.
