Have a Netgear N600 WNDR3700 Dual Band 2.4 & 5.0Ghz and
Swann 2.4Ghz Wireless Receiver Model: SW-P-WOC2
4 SW231-WOC Camers.
I can connect 2 laptop (Wireless), Desktops (Lan), Cells (Wireless).

As soon as the 2.4 camers or receivers are powered up.
The whole inhouse network crashes.
Can I force router to broadcast wireless at 5.0Ghz, or am I hosed as far as the Camers go?

You can turn the 2.4g radio off from the advanced setting page. I am not surprised that those camera kill your 2.4 network they are hogs and like baby monitors and cordless phones they run their own protocols so they don't play well with 802.11 wireless.

Disabling the 2.4 means all your devices need to have 5g radios in them also...many old cell phones do not.

Thanks, All I can do is give it a shot and see what happens, mostly worried about the laptops.

You can can turn off the 2.4Ghz radio on the N600 router. Each camera is on is own channel 1-4 and the router is on channel 11 with the 5.0Ghz radio on. However, it makes no difference when the camera is power on the the network still dies.
I need a 6 night vision security cameras 3 outside and 3 inside. Anyone know of any reviews I look at that will not interfere with a wireless router?

Problem is you cameras have their own definition of channels they don't use 802.11. After I looked up the frequencies for what they call channel 1-4 They correspond to 1,5,9,12 or close. This means channel 4 will strongly interfere with channel 11 and even channel 3 will interfere to some extent.

You best bet would be to buy PoE cameras. You have to run power to the camera anyway so you might as well use the cable to get the signal back to the router for as many as possible. If you us IP based wireless cameras they will actually use your wireless rather than interfer. Of course you may want to give them their own channel(s) and router if they are high bandwidth but you should be able to get it to work.

I like the logitech cameras best they have 720p resolution and are at least somewhat affordable. These are not wireless they recommend powerline extension when ethernet does not reach. I have only used them on ethernet. Quality is great.
