The only crosstalk Issue I have ever had was when our neighbor got a new garage door opener, every time he came home and opened his garage, our doorbell would ring!
It took a couple of weeks to put that one together, and after he changed the dip switches to change channels and all was good with the world again.
And yes, ringing our doorbell would open his garage.
No problem, NCE wireless is 913 MHz or thereabout, wireless routers are 2.4 GHz.
2.4 GHz is wide open, but there are multiple channels to use to prevent interference. Digitrax duplex radio uses 2.4GHz, and they provide a utility to configure the system to use whichever channel has less traffic.

NCE's radio system runs at approximately 916 MHz. Most wireless internet runs at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, so it shouldn't interfere with these throttles.

I think it depends on the application. I understand that some home consumer applications are wide open in the same area as radio freqs used by DCC radio.
I use the NCE ProCab Radio throttles in close proximity with a LinkSys Wireless G Broadband Router and have no interference problems at all between the two. I also have wireless telephones and G-Scale AirWire900 throttles that cause no intereference.

I've had no problems with my router and Digitraxx duplex or simplex radio. As a matter of fact, I keep a laptop at the layout as well, for programming decoders, running trains, etc.

I don't think it will be an issue, unless both your wireless router is using the same channel that the NCE is using. And if you do have problems, you can just change the wireless channel on the router or the NCE.
It's in the manual.

It might depend on the make and just what frequency your application is set at. There have been documented cases of interference from remote appliances and cordless phones.
I have used my wireless computor with a wireless mouse as well in the same room while operating my Digitrax Super Empire Builder with radio. There was no interference between the three.
I am using my NCE pro cab wireless throttle almost exclusively now. I want to go wireless with the router for the PC and laptop as well. Will the two radio signals interfere with each other in any way?
