DR-44WL
Hello Community

I just bought a DR-44WL and did some test recordings. It works as expected as long as the recorders WiFi is not activated. But when I activate WiFi I can immediately hear a "knocking" noise that gets recorded too. This noise is only recorded by the internal stereo-microphone, the sound from my Rode M5 microphones coming through the XLR-Inputs is fine.
I made a short video to demonstrate the issue:

I assume this is not normal behavior, otherwise the WiFi connection would be pretty useless...
Anybody experienced a similar issue? Could it be I missed something while setting up the recorder? Or did I just buy a bugged DR-44WL?

Any feedback from more experienced users would be highly appreciated.
 
Just in case anybody else is experiencing similar problems: Turns out it's an interference issue. Tascam support told me this is a known bug, but on that can easy be fixed in a service centre. So let's see how long it takes them to fix it...
