Belkin USB device affected by nearby woofer?

[RigidRaider]

My neighbour gave us one of those powerful computer sound systems with a massive woofer. As soon as I fixed it up under the computer desk, our internet went down. We have a Belkin USB thingy linking to a BT Homehub. Is it possible that the magnetic flux from the woofer has goosed the Belkin in some way? I got it going again with help from the Belkin helpline but this morning again it was not playing ball, I don't know what I did to get it going but I did drop the firewall temporarily and it suddenly started working.

Any ideas?

Have you turned off the woofer to see if your wireless network starts working again?

I got it going again with help from the Belkin helpline

Does that not imply that the Belkin hasn't become "goosed"?

but this morning again it was not playing ball, I don't know what I did to get it going

Did you drop the firewall?

but I did drop the firewall temporarily

Oh. You did.

and it suddenly started working.

That's good then.

Any ideas?

You appear not to have a problem.
