Well, 3 things have helped resolve my problem with interference being caused
by my equipment rack, so I wanted to give some feedback to the group:

1) I separated the power source ~ My cable modem and equipment rack had
shared the same power outlet before, and now do not. (Thanks Craig)

2) I grounded a few of the routers to the rack, and the equipment rack to
house ground. (Thanks Buddy)

3) My cable company came out and found a problem with the cable data
equipment outside. I had originally called them saturday screaming bloody
murder about the bad connection and had them dispatch since they could see
errors coming from my cable modem. Later that day I powered off the rack and
noticed that the link light came back on. Apparently the signal outside was
degraded to such a point that the equipment rack could knock it out. I
suspect this was the biggest fix.

Layer one will get ya everytime.

Dave
