Logitech Wireless Headset Cutting Out
From Mike Beane's Blog
Ran into this issue a few years back when we had our 2.4Ghz wireless AP close to the USB receiver for a Logitech G930 headset: the headset would beep and cut out a lot (lose connection). Very inconvenient\annoying\etc. I ended up disabling 2.4 on the AP because I had other ones in the house I could run. This weekend we upgraded the wireless AP and due to what we were doing (getting rid of the old APs), I needed 2.4Ghz to be enabled from the new device.
If you have the options to lock in your wireless 2.4Ghz channel, consider the following:
Wireless AP
- Lock the 2.4Ghz into a channel. I chose 11 for our house where we only have the 1 AP running. If we put in a second, I'll look at 6 for that one. We should never have a 3rd here. This usually can be done in the admin panel of the device, sometimes under Advanced.
Logitech
- Make sure you are running Logitech drivers (if not, I am not sure where Windows default driver controls this).
- Set the headset to using channel 1 using Regedit (example below)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\G930] @="" "Band1GainLevel"=dword:00000001 "Band2GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band3GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band4GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band5GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band6GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band7GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band8GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band9GainLevel"=dword:00000000 "Band10GainLevel"=dword:00000000
- Restart Windows
Note: this is a per user setting in the registry. Multiple profiles will need to have the regkey set.
