Wireless guitar system?

Any of you guitar dudes using a (cheap) wireless system?
Looking at something like the new Boss unit that’s in the $200 range. I only play in my house so not looking at an expensive system, but I’ve heard that WiFi routers can cause interference. Any of you guys using wireless in your home and having interference issues?

I have a wireless system and when I played in front of a crowd of 3500 it went nuts because of the frequency. it was an older system. the newer systems with the different frequency I've heard are a lot better with latency being awesome. i'll just stay plugged in at this point

I've gigged in the past with Samson and Shure systems and got great results. Be sure you get a system that's true diversity (look for two antennae on the receiver) and that the system has multiple channel selection to which MB referred before. Research battery life in the transmitter as well - I could depend on two full gigs out of one 9V with my last Shure system.
All my past systems (I'm 50 and haven't gigged in close to 10 years) had a belt-pack transmitter and a console (set on amp) receiver. Systems out there now use a bug-like direct plug-in that transmits to a stompbox-sized receiver, that you can put at the front of your effects chain on a pedalboard. VERY nice!
If your system has a belt pack transmitter, make sure it has a detachable cable so it can be easily and quickly replaced if the cable goes bad. I always kept a spare transmitter cable for my Shure in my rig bag. Shure offered straight plug replacements (strat jack top-mount cup) and right-angle plug replacements (ideal for teles, LPs, SGs).

I just got the Line6 G10 Relay system for Christmas.
Amazing how easy it is. Charged it for 10 mins and played for 35 minutes at a wedding without any problem.
Not sure about wifi interference - never noticed it.

I recently watched the ACDC Rig Rundown and they discussed the wireless unit that Angus uses, which has multiple different frequencies. If those fail he has a 75 foot cable to use.

+1. I used the Line6 products when I was giging back in the day and never had any issues.
