At the top end of the soundbar market, there are two schools of thought. The first is that costlier models warrant additional speakers for enhanced bass and surround performance. The second is that a single, high-quality soundbar should be able to competently deliver excellent treble clarity, bass and a room-filling sound on its own – with extra boxes available (though not necessary) to suit the taste, homes and pockets of the  buyer.

The Sony HT-A7000 falls firmly into the latter camp. This 7.1.2 slab of sound packs two up-firing speakers, two beam tweeters, five front-facing drivers and a built-in dual subwoofer into a single chassis.

And it’s an approach that appeals. After all, isn’t the point of a soundbar that it delivers cinematic audio without the need for lots of speakers? Of course, we also understand that low frequencies are most faithfully reproduced by larger drivers and that reflected surround sound is no match for direct audio. Often though, we’ve found that multi-box systems aren’t cohesive as a whole and rather than increase the perception of immersive and realistic sound, if they’re not all top performers, the sub and surrounds become distracting. Which rather defeats the point.

Price

Standing proudly on its own two (rubberised) feet, the HT-A7000 doesn’t require any additional speakers to justify its hefty price point of £1199 / $1300 / AU$1699 or its position as Sony’s flagship soundbar.

However, if you did want to add to the HT-A7000, you could almost double that price. There’s a choice of two subwoofers, the 300W SA-SW5 priced at £699 / $700 / AU$899, and the 200W SA-SW3 costing £449 / $400 / AU$599. A pair of surround SA-RS3S speakers costs £449 / $350 / AU$649 and, slightly disappointingly at this price, they only have front-facing drivers.

The HT-A7000 replaces the Sony HT-ST5000, which was £1499 / $1500 (around AU$2830) at launch in 2017. It undercuts LG’s top-of-the-line 7.1.4 package, the SP11RA, which costs £1499 (around $2050, AU$1849) and Samsung’s 11.1.4 package, the HW-Q950A, which currently costs £1399 / $1500 / AU$1795. 

Both the LG and Samsung include a separate sub and a pair of wireless surrounds but a single bar solution in the style of the Sony A7000 would be the award-winning 5.0.2 Sonos Arc, which delivers impressive Atmos performance on its own for £799 / $799 / AU$1399, but can also be expanded through the addition of two One SL speakers (£358 / $358 / AU$538) and, if required, a Sub (£699 / $699 / AU$999).

Build

(Image credit: Sony)

It may be just one unit but the HT-A7000 is an incredibly weighty 8.7kg and, at 8cm high, it’s taller than most, only just sneaking under the Sony A80J OLED TV that we test it with.

Described by Sony as an ‘Omnidirectional Block’ concept, shared by the rest of the range, the HT-A7000 is made up of a blend of materials, textures and shades of black, from the fabric covering the upward drivers and a perforated metal front grille, to the polished glass top surface and the greasy fingerprints that instantly appear on it after reaching for the capacitive function buttons. The build feels substantial and sturdy, although the mixed look of its design perhaps isn’t as slick as that of some of its competition. 

While the main soundbar may be a bit unsure of its image, the included remote is firmly a ’90s throwback. Using this you can quickly access (almost) all of the A7000’s functions and check settings such as which audio format you’re currently listening to, with a scrolling text response on the front face of the soundbar. It’s a nice touch, but even better is the fully integrated on-screen set-up and options menu you get if you own a Bravia TV (Z9J, A90J, A80J, X95J, X90J, X85J or X80J series). Other AV brands have begun adding symbiotic technology to their soundbars and TVs but this is one of the best uses of it we’ve seen and is particularly useful given the heavy feature load of the A7000.

Features

(Image credit: Sony)

The set-up and room calibration process for the A7000 is a breeze, as is connecting to streaming services such as Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and integration into a multi-room system – with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Home all supported. It’s great to be able to get up and running without having to reach for your phone but, should you wish, the Sony Music Center app for Android and iOS offers another handy way to control the A7000. Our only gripe is that there aren’t any options to tweak the soundbar’s EQ bands on the remote. In fact, the only discrete tone settings available are three bass volume levels hidden away on the app’s sound settings.

The A7000 may be packed with streaming smarts but it is also heavily specced when it comes to physical connectivity too. Gamers and those whose TVs lack more than one spare HDMI port will be pleased to know there are two HDMI 2.1 pass-through sockets capable of handling 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, and Dolby Vision HDR. While that sounds like full-fat HDMI 2.1, Xbox Series X (and, one day, PS5) users should note that at present the A7000 doesn’t support VRR or ALLM.

Alongside these inputs, there are sockets for eARC/HDMI out, analogue and optical audio inputs, USB type-A, power and an analogue output for Sony’s Acoustic Center Sync, which lets a compatible Bravia TV become part of the soundbar’s centre channel when the two are connected using the supplied cable.

There are so many connections that the cavern on the rear that’s designed to hold all the ports is on the cramped side, which is worth bearing in mind if you think you might want to access it regularly.

In terms of supported audio formats, the A7000 excels itself again and includes Dolby Atmos (in both the Digital+ and TrueHD formats), DTS:X, LPCM, wireless hi-res audio and Sony 360 Reality Audio. The last of those is an object-based spatial technology that surrounds the listener, with compatible content available from Tidal, Amazon Music HD, Nugs and Deezer.

Sound

Sony has opted to use a combination of driver placement and psychoacoustic techniques to enhance the width and height of the soundstage whether you’re watching immersive content or not, and it works very well. Alongside the upward drivers, there’s the company’s Vertical Surround Engine (VSE), which up-mixes standard content to make use of the height channels. But more key to the A7000’s overall performance are the wide-spaced beam tweeters, which channel audio through a series of flute-like chambers, and Sony’s S-Force Front Surround Technology, which is engaged when the ‘Cinema’ and ‘Standard’ sound modes are selected.

So effective and transparent is the performance of these wide tweeters that while watching the opening scene of Gravity in Dolby Atmos we repeatedly check that there isn’t a speaker immediately to our side.

As Sandra Bullock rotates on screen, unable to detach from the spinning robotic arm, the brilliant sound design is superbly rendered spatially, undulating upward and outward, beyond the scope of the image. Later on, as she floats into the depths of space, snatches of radio static and comms appear to be spread on either side of the listening position. In terms of height and precision, the performance is similar to that of the Sonos Arc but the width of the soundstage and its forward projection is more convincing. It’s not the same as having direct audio from the speaker above or the side but it’s effective and dramatically enticing, enriching the viewing experience.

The integrated sub also impresses with a taut, controlled and powerful performance that we haven’t heard from a single soundbar, besides the pricier Sennheiser Ambeo. Even when we push it to the extremes with the pulsating synths of Blade Runner 2049, the subwoofer of the A7000 handles itself well with a strong leading edge while retaining musicality, though we do notch down its volume level from high to medium. The Vangelis-inspired score is reproduced with an appropriately epic sense of scale while retaining finer details. Dropping into quieter moments, the A7000 neatly picks out dialogue with transparent clarity.

(Image credit: Sony)

Swapping to Nomadland, which has a more restrained but still compelling Atmos sound design, the A7000 confirms its ability to handle lighter, nuanced sounds. The excellent depth of field means that changes of location are stark and powerful. Inside the van, with the subtle noises of the world passing by outside, the viewer feels tightly enclosed. From the cavernous clanking Amazon plant to the gentle winds and vast empty reverb of the open desert, the A7000 places you firmly into each space.

Throughout the film, dialogue is naturalistically, and often quietly, spoken – but once again the A7000 shows excellent presence, and while adding in the Sony TV to bolster the centre channel doesn’t dramatically alter the already impressive soundfield, it nicely adds to the openness and character of voices. Should you need it there’s a dialogue boost setting, and if you’re watching DTS:X content you can individually adjust the dialogue level using the remote. 

When streaming music we find that keeping the A7000 in Standard mode or the weighty Cinema setting is preferable to Music mode, which doesn’t make use of S-Force Pro Front surround technology. The vertical sound engine, which up-mixes tracks to make use of the height speakers, is best left to classical or acoustic tracks without heavy rhythmic elements.

The deep, hypnotic bass in Björk’s Hyperballad is punchy, confident and rounded, with only the very lowest notes flattened off slightly. There’s plenty of headroom to push the volume but it’s unlikely you’ll need to venture above 70 unless you have very understanding neighbours.

In Led Zeppelin’s Ramble On, the clipping percussive transients, kick drum and bass maintain taut rhythmic coherence, while the guitars and vocals have plenty of separation with just the right amount of melody and edge. 

Switching to the dynamically diverse Et In Carnatus Est and Santus of Mozart’s Grosse Messe there’s a pleasant warmth and consistency in the strings across the lower midrange, and the sub makes a decent attempt at the majestic timpani rolls and organ bursts. Here the vertical surround engine is an enjoyable addition and seems to add a touch of sweetness to the higher frequencies.

We decide to road test a few 360 tracks from Tidal’s catalogue for good measure and quickly realise that not all 360 tracks are created equal. For example, Foo Fighters’ Everlong on the A7000 feels a touch boomy and cluttered whereas the drum panning on Pearl Jam’s Alive fizzes with lively effervescence. Immersive audio is still very much a developing area for streaming companies but, for now, it’s a welcome bonus in an already feature-packed soundbar.

Verdict

The A7000 produces powerful, cinematic audio and an immersive, detailed soundfield from a single soundbar that impresses more than most multi-box systems.

If there were no limits to our income or living space we’d happily add the optional surrounds and sub, but the A7000 does not feel wanting of any extra support. It’s an incredibly competent, future-proofed performer that enhances everything we watch and sets a new benchmark for Dolby Atmos soundbars at its price.

Sony HT-A3000 Review

The Sony A-Series Dolby Atmos home theater soundbars are really impressive. However, their prices start at $1,000. The HT-A3000 soundbar costs significantly less. This is what makes the HT-A3000 so interesting. But the price cut means cuts in several areas.

First and foremost is the absence of any upward-firing speakers that help reproduce Dolby Atmos sound with a height effect. So what are these compromises? In this review of the Sony HT-A3000, we will look at the strengths and weaknesses of the premium soundbar and try to answer the question of whether this model is worth buying.

Sony HT-A3000 Overview

Design

The Sony HT-A3000 soundbar is made entirely of matte black plastic. The speakers are protected by a dark gray metal grille. Measuring 950mm wide and 64mm high, it fits perfectly under almost any TV. If your TV has very low legs, the soundbar may be blocking its infrared (IR) sensor.

On the top of the panel are several touch controls for power, volume, input selection, Bluetooth activation. There are also shortcut keys to the music service. Behind the metal grille is a small OLED display that shows all the necessary status information, from the current input to the volume level and audio formats.

Many messages require text scrolling, which is not very convenient. It is possible to dim the display or turn it off completely. In addition to the soundbar itself, the package includes: an HDMI cable, a power cable, a remote control with two AAA batteries, a 3.5mm analog cable to send center channel audio to a compatible Sony TV, a quick start guide, a wall mounting template, and a complete user manual.

All of these are packaged in large styrofoam blocks. Like the soundbar itself, the included remote control is simple yet well thought out. The remote is clearly labeled but not backlit. It is quite difficult to use it in a dark room.

Surround sound quality

For normal two-channel stereo and even Dolby Digital 5.1 content, the A3000 sounds great. The dialogue quality is also excellent. The A3000 soundbar lacks dedicated dialogue speakers. Despite this, the dialogues sound very clear and legible, which is the first plus.

The built-in dual subwoofers do an excellent job of reproducing low frequencies given the size of this speaker. However, this is not the bass that can be felt in the chest. The monstrous steps of the T-Rex from Jurassic World Dominion will not make the sofa vibrate. But the sound is still powerful enough to give films a real emotional impact.

Another plus is Dolby Atmos playback. It goes without saying that a soundbar without dedicated speakers and a five-channel configuration cannot deliver Dolby Atmos 3D immersion as well as a bar that does. However, the A3000 soundbar sounds much better than other panels with the same sound design.

When the soundbar does not have separate speakers for each channel, it must virtualize them. The HT-A3000 soundbar is just that. Its digital signal processing simulates the presence of these missing channels. It should be noted right off the bat that many soundbars that try to do this simply can’t perform this kind of simulation.

Sony 360 Reality Audio tracks are also a joy to listen to with their real and immersive sound. For Atmos and DTS:X content, this virtualization is done automatically. In addition, there is an option to turn on the Sony sound field setting to get similar processing for all non-spatial audio content.

It should also be added that if the volume of the Sony HT-A3000 soundbar is set to less than a third, then the virtualization effect will be barely audible. The greatest effect is achieved at a volume level of 58% to 70%. However, we should not forget that the neighbors may not be happy with such a view.

Music sound quality

Music has always been a strong point in Sony models. The HT-A3000 soundbar handles a wide variety of genres well. The sound is well balanced, but there is a small “hole” in the middle range. The soundbar lacks some of the detail a user gets from a bar with a wide variety of dedicated speakers.

In the mid-frequency range, the sound quality can be called satisfactory. On the other hand, the high frequencies sound excellent, although a bit harsh at higher volume levels. Fans of heavy vocal genres will appreciate the sound.

If the overall sound signature doesn’t satisfy music lovers, the A3000 offers a host of impressive musical features to help make up for that. With built-in AirPlay 2 and Chromecast technologies, Apple and Android users can stream lossless music (up to 24bit/96kHz in the case of Chromecast).

It also supports the two leading spatial audio formats for music: Dolby Atmos Music (via HDMI from a TV) and Sony’s own 360 Reality Audio (360RA) via Chromecast. Tracks 360RA are able to deliver real pleasure.

Despite most of the advantages, the Sony HT-A3000 soundbar has one drawback. Equalizer settings are almost non-existent. This is the approach the company has taken across its entire A-Series lineup. The HT-A5000 and HT-A7000 soundbars are also devoid of EQ settings, with the exception of a few changes that can be made to the sound field mode.

Sound Expansion

A key advantage of Sony A-Series soundbars, in addition to their features and sound quality, is their versatility. All three line systems (A3000, A5000 and A7000) can be supplemented with two types of wireless subwoofers. These are SA-SW3, SA-SW5. It is also possible to complement the soundbar with two models of wireless surround speakers: SA-RS3S and SA-SW5.

The addition of the SA-RS5 allows the soundbar to use Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, which definitely enhances the immersive experience for both TV and music streaming. The SA-SW3 adds the missing rumble and rumble.

Connections

Sony Soundbar patch panel HT-A3000 has one HDMI port with eARC and ARC audio return, a USB type A port, and a 3.5mm analog input for sending center channel audio to a Sony TV. If the TV does not support HDMI (ARC / eARC), then you can connect via the optical cable connector, which is not supplied with the device.

Moreover, formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Dolby TrueHD will become unavailable to the user. Wireless connections include Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi. There is AirPlay 2 for synchronization with Apple devices. As for the price issue, the starting price in Europe is 700 euros.

HT-A3000 review summary

To conclude our review of Sony’s HT-A3000, the Dolby Atmos soundbar works great for both TV and music playback. The model has an impressive number of features that are easy to use thanks to a thoughtful and well-executed user interface.

Cons: no dedicated height speakers, no HDMI inputs and relatively high price. All of this means that you will need to seriously consider whether the Sony HT-A3000 Acoustic Bar is right for your specific needs. If the user is looking for a soundbar that will give them maximum audio versatility as well as full smart home compatibility, then the A3000 is a great buy.

That said, a $700 price tag can make a big difference in the soundbar world. Therefore, if you are not particularly interested in the ability to connect the soundbar to voice assistants and streaming music services, but just need a great Dolby Atmos soundbar, then you can spend less and still get a great sound system.

Pros
Great sound for movies and music.
Excellent screen settings.
Extensive expansion options.
Convincing virtual Dolby Atmos.
Cons
Expensive for Virtual Atmos.
No HDMI input.
No equalizer settings.

Signa S4 Wireless Soundbar

$399 at Amazon$299 at Walmart$299 at B&H Photo

Pros

• Excellent audio quality

Cons

The Polk Audio Signa S4 is our top pick for most buyers. It has an elegant design with a fabric finish, an effortless setup, and stellar audio performance with support for Dolby Atmos-enhanced sound.

Pros

• Immersive Dolby Atmos sound
• Superb set of connectivity features
• Seamless Roku integration

Cons

• Dialogue output could be better

The latest TCL Alto 8+ soundbar is an excellent alternative to our top pick, with onboard Wi-Fi connectivity and a lower price tag. Impressively, the product is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and Spotify Connect. You can also control the playback with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri voice commands.

In a head-to-head comparison with the Polk Audio Signa S4, the TCL Alto 8+ stands its ground admirably, producing immersive sound with Dolby Atmos content. That said, I’d give the pricier Signa S4 a slight edge in cinematic audio for its ability to deliver crisper dialogues.

Alto 6+ Wireless Soundbar

$130 at Amazon$129 at Walmart$134 at Home Depot

Pros

• Good sound for the money
• Understated design
• Very affordable

Cons

• No Dolby Atmos

TCL’s Alto 6+ soundbar is our favorite for budget shoppers. It’s priced at around $100, and it has an easy setup, good sound quality for the money, onboard Bluetooth, and a bundled wireless sub. If you’re shopping on an even tighter budget, you can order an Alto 6 variant without a wireless subwoofer for less than $70.

Hardware-wise, the Alto 6+ lags behind pricier products, but it’s still very dependable. It can’t deliver as much detail, but it’s a massive upgrade over the built-in speakers of just about any TV. It is compatible with Dolby Digital-enhanced content, too.

Expensive, yes — but the Dolby Atmos-compatible Bose Smart Soundbar 900 is elegant and feature-rich in equal measure. Sporting a sleek glass and metal housing, it packs many smart features, including Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant compatibility, Chromecast, and Apple AirPlay 2 wireless playback.

The product’s audio performance is worthy of its high price tag. The Soundbar 900 produces immersive and spacious sound, creating the impression of an audio system with multiple speaker units spread around your space — not just one soundbar.

You create a full-fledged surround-sound system by adding a wireless bass module and surround speakers, though the upgrade will cost you. After months of testing, I found the standalone Soundbar 900 to be superb.

The latter also includes the option to connect a pair of Bose headphones wirelessly to enjoy content without disturbing anyone.

The 27-inch device’s five built-in drivers — two of which are upward firing — made it sound much bigger during my testing. The immersive sonic experience was second only to bigger and more expensive Dolby Atmos soundbars. You can supplement it with an external bass module and surround speakers, just like the bigger Soundbar 900.

Can A Soundbar Interfere With WiFi? What You Need To Know!

Soundbars are becoming an essential component in many people’s entertainment setups. It’s the device that gives you a surround sound experience without the need to place multiple external speakers around the room. Your soundbar does give you great audio but is it interfering with your Wi-Fi?

Soundbars with Wi-Fi capabilities typically won’t interfere with a Wi-Fi network but can slow it down slightly. Soundbars that have wireless surround speakers or a subwoofer typically use a dedicated wireless frequency to avoid interfering with the 2. 4GHz and 5GHz frequencies used in Wi-Fi networks.

Put simply, your soundbar can interfere with your Wi-Fi network, even if it doesn’t produce a signal. If you use a soundbar with Bluetooth capability, for instance, this can interfere with your connection. A disrupted signal could lead to crashes and the loss of your network signal, effectively putting a stop to any streamed content.

How Wireless Interference Happens

Bluetooth connectivity is a convenient function that allows you to transfer audio from a device to a soundbar. Even though you can get great audio this way, problems with interference can occur. Wi-Fi signal interference happens when the Bluetooth frequency overlaps your wireless system (more on other reasons in our guide). The signal overlap occurs when the Bluetooth enabled device, which includes speakers and soundbars, operate at 2.4 GHz.

It is the same as your Wi-Fi signal. Another reason for interference is the soundbar has one or more wireless satellite speakers. One example is the Nakamichi Shockwave Ultra (on Amazon). With multiple speakers that include both wireless subwoofers and rear surround effects speakers, there are several signals bouncing around the room.

Troubleshooting Wireless Interference

You don’t have to give up on your soundbar or its satellite speakers to avoid network interference. There are a few things you can try that might resolve the problem. The first one has to do with your satellite speakers. Before you start moving components around or disabling most of them, start with your satellite speakers.

Most satellite speakers that come with soundbars are only designed to give you the feeling you’re listening to surround sound. The speakers do improve overall audio quality but aren’t necessary. You’ll still hear music, shows, and movies without having to crank the volume up, and the speakers may be the reason for the interference with your internet signal.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

Check where you have the Wi-Fi router placed. When it’s too close to the soundbar, the signals can bounce off of each other, resulting in interference. Sometimes, all it takes is moving your router further away from your soundbar to resolve the problem. You also want to check your router’s settings.

If you’re on the auto channel selection option, switch the preference off. Instead, use the 5 GHz wireless band setting, (if your router comes with that option). Moving as many components as possible to the 5 GHz channel will minimize the chances of the various signals interfering with each other and leading to a dropped connection.

Other Devices That May Be Affecting Wi-Fi Performance

While your soundbar can cause interference with your wireless signal, it’s not the only possible culprit. Other devices can cause the same problem. Thankfully, it’s usually an easy fix so look around the room and see what devices are next to your router. Cordless telephones, microwaves, and some baby monitors also use a signal similar to the router’s 2. 4 GHz internet band.

These and other electronic devices might be the problem, instead of your soundbar. So try moving the components away from the router; you also want to ensure your router isn’t blocked by any other objects.

Your Neighbors Can Affect Wi-Fi Performance

Most people have neighbors living only a few feet away. It can build closer communities but your neighbor’s Wi-Fi devices can interrupt your network signal. Since you can’t ask your neighbors to turn off their Wi-Fi enabled devices, including their routers, you’ll need to find another option.

The problem with interference from a neighbor’s Wi-Fi signal usually occurs in townhouses and apartment complexes. Instead of sticking to one signal, the proximity of other routers can cause yours to constantly search for a better signal. If you have a wall free from neighbors in your home, try moving the router there. The distance may prevent it from constantly searching for a signal.

Distance, Height, and Wi-Fi Interference

You do want to be careful how far away you move your router because distance also causes interference due to a weaker Wi-Fi signal. You want to keep the router as close as possible to your connected devices. Since most people have Wi-Fi enabled devices throughout their home, many of which we’ve explored in our article on smart home devices, you want to find a central location to place the router.

Additionally, height is also something to look at. You don’t want your router on or close to the floor because the signal often bounces off the floor, weakening it before it reaches your devices. Optimally, you want to place the router up high because it will help maximize signal strength, reducing your risk for interference.

Wi-Fi Interference and Soundbars

Your soundbar can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal, especially when you’re also using satellite speakers, because the signals can bump into each other, disrupting the one from your router. When this happens, you can temporarily lose your internet connection, however, there are steps you can take to resolve the issue and it won’t take a lot of time. One of the easiest is to use your router’s 5 GHz channel for most of your connected devices.

You also want to check the router’s placement. Are there other non-connected devices nearby or objects placed in front? These can also interfere with the Wi-Fi signal. Whether you have to move devices to another channel or reposition the router, it’s worth the effort when you can use your soundbar without worrying about signal interference.

With multiple speakers that include both wireless subwoofers and rear surround effects speakers, there are several signals bouncing around the room.

Troubleshooting Wireless Interference

You don’t have to give up on your soundbar or its satellite speakers to avoid network interference. There are a few things you can try that might resolve the problem. The first one has to do with your satellite speakers. Before you start moving components around or disabling most of them, start with your satellite speakers.

Most satellite speakers that come with soundbars are only designed to give you the feeling you’re listening to surround sound. The speakers do improve overall audio quality but aren’t necessary. You’ll still hear music, shows, and movies without having to crank the volume up, and the speakers may be the reason for the interference with your internet signal.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

Check where you have the Wi-Fi router placed. When it’s too close to the soundbar, the signals can bounce off of each other, resulting in interference. Sometimes, all it takes is moving your router further away from your soundbar to resolve the problem. You also want to check your router’s settings.

If you’re on the auto channel selection option, switch the preference off. Instead, use the 5 GHz wireless band setting, (if your router comes with that option). Moving as many components as possible to the 5 GHz channel will minimize the chances of the various signals interfering with each other and leading to a dropped connection.

Other Devices That May Be Affecting Wi-Fi Performance

While your soundbar can cause interference with your wireless signal, it’s not the only possible culprit. Other devices can cause the same problem. Thankfully, it’s usually an easy fix so look around the room and see what devices are next to your router. Cordless telephones, microwaves, and some baby monitors also use a signal similar to the router’s 2. 4 GHz internet band.

These and other electronic devices might be the problem, instead of your soundbar. So try moving the components away from the router; you also want to ensure your router isn’t blocked by any other objects.

Your Neighbors Can Affect Wi-Fi Performance

Most people have neighbors living only a few feet away. It can build closer communities but your neighbor’s Wi-Fi devices can interrupt your network signal. Since you can’t ask your neighbors to turn off their Wi-Fi enabled devices, including their routers, you’ll need to find another option.

The problem with interference from a neighbor’s Wi-Fi signal usually occurs in townhouses and apartment complexes. Instead of sticking to one signal, the proximity of other routers can cause yours to constantly search for a better signal. If you have a wall free from neighbors in your home, try moving the router there. The distance may prevent it from constantly searching for a signal.

Distance, Height, and Wi-Fi Interference

You do want to be careful how far away you move your router because distance also causes interference due to a weaker Wi-Fi signal. You want to keep the router as close as possible to your connected devices. Since most people have Wi-Fi enabled devices throughout their home, many of which we’ve explored in our article on smart home devices, you want to find a central location to place the router.

Additionally, height is also something to look at. You don’t want your router on or close to the floor because the signal often bounces off the floor, weakening it before it reaches your devices. Optimally, you want to place the router up high because it will help maximize signal strength, reducing your risk for interference.

Wi-Fi Interference and Soundbars

Your soundbar can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal, especially when you’re also using satellite speakers, because the signals can bump into each other, disrupting the one from your router. When this happens, you can temporarily lose your internet connection, however, there are steps you can take to resolve the issue and it won’t take a lot of time. One of the easiest is to use your router’s 5 GHz channel for most of your connected devices.

You also want to check the router’s placement. Are there other non-connected devices nearby or objects placed in front? These can also interfere with the Wi-Fi signal. Whether you have to move devices to another channel or reposition the router, it’s worth the effort when you can use your soundbar without worrying about signal interference.
