how bad is it? if i use a 2.8ghz cordless phone, will it screw up my wrieless 802.11b internet connection? what happens? will it just disconnect my wirleess conenction when im using the phone or what? does it only ahpppen if im im talking on the phone and its fine when im not?
 
The phone will casue your cpu to loose its link
yes 2.5gz phones are a no no with a wireless home network..
 
2.4ghz sir. and depending, it may or may not. whenever someone picks up one of our sony 2.4ghz, it drops the connection and interferes. the panasonic we have... doesn't do a thing.

and yes, your head will explode as well in some cases.
 
I have an AT&T 2.4ghz phone and it has a lot of static. If I move away from the router the static lessens but it's definately still there. It hasn't affected my wireless connection (mixed b and g), but the microwave certainly does. I moved the router upstairs and it works fine now, but the phone is still staticy. I'm going to buy a 900mhz phone in the future sometime.
 
My 2.4GHz multiple handset Vtech has NEVER bothered either my .11b or .11g connections. And my wireless has NEVER bothered my phones.

Windows Wireless Zero Configuration, on the other hand...
 
When my roommate picks up his 2.4 ghz it drops my connection. That is why I just bought him a 900mhz phone yesterday :0
 
We have a couple of Panasonic 2.4Ghz phones at home, and I rarely experience problems with my 802.11b/g wireless link...
 
both 2.4ghz phones (the most common) and microwaves can interfere with 802.11b, I'd go with g if I were going wireless.
 
oops, sorry i meant 2.4 ghz..

so even if there are problems, it's only when the cordless phone is in use right? once i hang up the phone/turn it off, will the wireless internet connection be okay? or do u ahve to reboot the computer to get the connection back?

thanks

The connection will be restored once the phone is hung up.

Isn't that supposed to be 2.4GHz? 😕

Yes, I do believe it should be 2.4ghz
 
I run an 802.11b wireless network and my 2.4ghz phones have absolutely no affect on it. One is within five feet of the router.

Of course it is. Don't you know what I'm saying? I mean, meaning? 😕 😉
 
unless its a spread spectrum phone, then it bludgeons all the channels to death

most phones don't really have a channel number thing right... so its guess and check madness
