I was looking into getting VOIP service and there is a Linksys Router that offers VOIP, Wireless, and CAT connections. I was wondering if there are any issues I should know of. I have heard from people in the past that when someone on the wireless connection has problems it can also interefere with the computers connected via CAT5. I was also wondering about interference while using the VOIP and someone else is using the internet.

Thank you very much in advance.

Wouldnt surprise me as Cisco does have VOIP options on their SOHO routers. Probably start filtering that technology into the Linksys crap.

no worries.

What about if my girlfriends laptop loses wireless connection (the walls are thick here but well be moving soon enough) will it affect my connection via CAT5?

You dont suggest the Linksys routers? I have had one for years and only recently has a single port stopped working (probably due to the fact that the cords have been yanked from it a few times.)
