Recently I moved the router into the laundry room and placed it about three feet away from the motion detector light switch. The switch would come on by itself and sometimes it would stay on for hours even though it's set for 15 minutes. Can the presence of the router (Netgear Nighthawk 2.5G / 5G) cause the switch to think it's detecting motion? I believe the switch is an IR type. (Leviton DI-000-PR180-22C) It's about 13 years old and has never given any indication of a problem until after moving the router. The switched load is not meant for LED lighting but by putting a standard incandescent bulb in parallel with the LED lights stops the flicker and the failure to fully extinguish. Without the incandescent bulb the LED's would never fully go out but be about 60% lit and flicker until turned fully on. So the inc-bulb is required for normal switching. And the inc is good.
I know random events can sometimes occur at a similar time making it look like one affected the other. My first guess would be that the router shouldn't cause any issues with the motion sensor switch. I could be wrong.
