I posted a similar question the other day and someone told me the cause of static coming through my t.v., computer speakers, and kicking me off internet could be coming from a amateur radio.
They never told me what I could do about it.
First I'm not even sure that is the problem.
It doesn't happen all the time. May go days without it. Then it may do it at 2am. Other times periodically throughout the day. Then a week without doing it.
In my den the internet went out about 8 times a little while ago and everytime it went out I noticed static in my tv across the room (same as always). The tv in my bedroom is hooked up to a regular antenna not satellite. It gets the same static. Computer on other end of house gets booted exactly the same.
Static sounds starts off very low then the scratchy sound gets louder and then internet goes out. It stays out for only 1 minute max then comes right back on. Static sound always lasts about 10-12 seconds. help please!!

noot likely ham radio. That would occur for longer periods at a time. It also would not affect such a wide spectrum. I suspect some kind of power transformer in the power system.
Static is caused by electrical storms which are accompanied by lightning, not by radio transmissions.
If you are in the U.S.A. you can seek help from the F.C.C.
Your internet disconnects are almost certainly not the result of amateur radio. Thousands of hams use internet connections right next to their transmitters, for such things as logging and looking up callsigns. I would look in a different direction for the source of the problem.
If anything, it could be an illegal CBer running an illegal amplifier before it would be an amateur radio operator.
Hams understand rules and take appropriate precautions against interference.
CBers disregard rules.
look around your house if there are beside antenna of amateur radio the disturb of television could be but the internet only if you use wire less if this is the problem you can use a filter .
