In one office, when the cordless 2.4ghz phone is used, the wireless network
hiccups, the connection is lost temporarily. Turn off the cordless phone,
wireless is back. Change cordless phone channel while talking the wireless
network works. I have changed the channels on the wireless (802.11b/g) setup
to 11, 10, 6, 7, and 3. I guess, I have more channels to try. The security
level of the routers does not matter, wep, none, wpa, same difference, the
interference is there.
I've seen the following solutions and wanted to get some feedback:
1) purchase a 900mhz cordless a corded phone (the 900mhz cordless phones are
easily listened in on, not secure. Is this true?)
2) switch channels on the 802.11b/g equipment (have more channels to try, I
have tried 5 of them to no avail)
3) purchase 802.11"a" setup (not a good one, current network cards are "b"
and "g")
4) purchase another5.8ghz cordless phone (did this, still some issues; my
5.8ghz cordless phone does not really transmit at a 5.8ghz band, supposedly
2.4ghz is still used)
5) move 2.4ghz cordless phone/base away from router/wireless access point
(did this, this solution did not work)
6) purchase a different brand of wireless router (some brands have less
interference. I've read articles on some brands being better than others)
What else should I try? Does the Belkin Pre-N solve anything?
Thanks,
Smith
