543400 2007-04-23 03:42:00 Our wireless router seems to be interfering with our phone. Sound on the phone breaks up and it's almost impossible for people to hear us from the other end. Is there a fix for this?

543401 2007-04-23 04:05:00 Have you tried changing the channel on the phone? DeSade (984)
543402 2007-04-23 04:08:00 Had this with a high-ghz wireless phone..

I had to go back to a lower freq on the phone for a cure.

Then I decided the wireless modem wasn't secure enuff for living in a high density area with other pc's near me..got rid of the wireless modem, went hardwire and brought the high-ghz phone back in.

Now I get my microwave killing my phone....sigh!

543403 2007-04-23 04:23:00 You could try powering the phone down (at the wall adapter) then powering it up.

It *might* be able to find a channel in the band that has less interference, but if they both use the same band (probable) then they are competing for all the available space. Common problem, as SurferJoe has discovered.

543404 2007-04-23 04:48:00 Hmm, this must be the reason for deciding to get a 1.8GHz DECT phone as opposed to a more commen 2.4GHz one. I'm glad I did.
Now the only problems are a slight humming due to the microwave being so close to the base station.

543405 2007-04-23 05:26:00 Now I get my microwave killing my phone . . . . sigh! That rings alarm bells SJ, a microwave oven shouldn't leak that much radiation, though I wouldn't try to use the phone within 10 feet or so of an operating oven because even inconsequential (from a health perspective) levels of leakage can interfere if within the same band . They operate in the 2 . 4GHz region so shouldn't affect phones above that frequency either . I use 2 . 4GHz phones and they are unaffected by our microwave .

Could be that your MW has a problem .

543406 2007-04-23 06:01:00 Emsley, I had a similar problem but it was actually the router interfering via the house wiring - not via RF. I ditched my filters and went to a centralised splitter and cured the problem.

Try removing the antenna from your router and see if there is any difference - if there is , it'll be RF, if not, it might be the house phone wiring.
