Guitar Hero: Interference
Today, we picked up a The Ant Commandos Double Range wireless controller. Tomorrow, it goes back to the store, because it doesn’t play nicely with our wireless network, and is supposed to be interference free. If you leave the controller on, and don’t press any buttons, it randomly sends signals to the PS2. If I turn off the wireless router, it stops doing this. Our wireless router is a standard standalone Linksys Router, although I’m running DD-WRT on it so I can have better control of our wireless network. No matter what channel I change to (from 1 to 11) there’s still interference occurring. Seeing as a single wrong note in Guitar Hero or Rock Band can blast your score and progress to bits, this is unacceptable, and I shouldn’t have to turn of my wireless network to be able to use a wireless controller. So, back to the store the controller goes, and I’ll just have to get an additional wired controller. At least those don’t suffer from interference, just people tripping on them, or kids chewing on cables.
