Is it possible for a Room fan(ie Tornado Fan) to cause interference with my Wireless-G router?
I noticed that my network on my wireless computer went way down so I checked the connection status and it stated 2Mbps I usually average 36-48. The only thing I can figure out is that a fan between my computer and the router is on.

Only if your fan is spiting our fequencies in the 2.4ghz range.
If it were a microwave I would say there is the root cause, but a ceiling fan...or regular fan..gotta be something else.

It's probably the magnetic/electric field induced my power running through the walls once you turn it on.
