Generally speaking, I'm asking if there are potential problems using
wireless keyboards
and mices in conjuntion with a routed systems. Judging by your reply it
appears that
according to your experiance there is a possibility of problems.

No I didn't. It didn't occur to me 'till I took the pc back home to
reinstall.
When I got it home it worked fine. Might have been better if it had a bad
system
install. I still can't see how the WiFi could have caused this.
Come to think of it, I've had the same problem once before in my workshop.
I installed a dlink DIR300 G router in a pc and seemed to install ok.
However,
when I installed a receiver on my other pc, a Dlink DWA-510 Wireless G
Desktop Adaptor the pc
with the adapter behaved the exact same way as my original post.
Removing the adaptor rectified the problem. I'm unfamiliar with Wireless
systems and for me I think
they are not worth the trouble. Especially since a friend recently told me
that his "protected" wifi had been hacked
by someone and he now has a battle with the telephone company over a $5000
internet bill incurred over two and a
half month period.

Thanks for the kind reply, LR

My only experience is that it causes no interference. We hava a Logitech
V470 sitting about 2 feet away from our DGL-4300, with no problems.

Bluetooth "hops" from channel to channel (he said in his
techno-illiterate way) while WiFi stays fixed. There _could_ be
interference. HP have a PDF you can download discussing it.
