here's an odd one
« on: July 10, 2008, 11:16:03 AM »
Well, here it is... ive been in IT for close to 9 yrs and have NEVER experienced this

Wireless Linksys router.
Wireless is VERY strong to my new laptop... full signal strength GREAT connection
Someone picks up the phone (to dial out, or to answer) and the laptop looses connection to the router.
I have changed channels on the phone to no avail.....
as soon as the phone is hung up, the connection is restored...
Should i be looking for a different phone? I know the phone and wireless operate on the same frequency band, but shouldnt changing channels clear up this issue?
I fly R/C planes, and use a 2.4 ghz radio for most of my planes, and it locks in storng 100% of the time (tested if the phone interfered with it, and if IT interfered witht he wireless, and neither was the case) it ONLY happens between the phone and the router..

Weird.

You need a 5.8 ghz phone. Changing channels on a 2.4ghz phone won't help.

2.4ghz phones operate in the same range as the router. as Irwink stated, you need a new phone, or make sure they are on opposite ends of the house.

Kinda thought that, but, why does my 2.4ghz R/C Xmitter cause a problem? this thing has a 3+ mile range, so is more powerful than any cordless phone.. yet if I turn it on right next to the router. no problem at all.

I bet your ISP is using DSL.

If the telephone doesn't have a properly operating DSL filter, you'll see EXACTLY the symptoms you describe. Check the DSL filter on all of the telephones (especially the one that disrupts the connection). I bet you'll find a problem there.

R/C radios today have spread spectrum technology and very discerning receivers and your router does not. I like spread spectrum so all my hard earned money (that I dont put into computers) isnt wasted because someone else at the field forgot to check out the frequency flag.

What Im working on these days:
