If you have DSL, make sure that all of your phones have a filter on them.

Try changing channels on your wireless access point.
B, G and N wireless protocols all include the 2.4 GHz range, which is very common with household items, including cordless phones, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. Try changing channels to find a clear frequency. |

i'm betting either STO or Shub got it, both could easily cause that.

Your phone and router are on the same channel. Go to your router settings and check the channel, it's probably 1 or 11. If it's 1, put it to 11, if its 11, put it to 1. I had the exact same problem at my last apartment, and that will solve it.

I'll second that. I used to have this problem myself using wireless G and some 2.4GHz cordless phones. Every time the phone would ring or somebody would answer, the connection would slow to a crawl and usually die out. I kept changing channels until the problem went away and it hasn't been back since. I would make use of that feature before buying a new router, no sense in spending another $50 when a few clicks could solve the problem. Especially since a new router would likely have the same issue if using the same frequency. The channel is the actual frequency you use (it's not exactly 2.4GHz, just close), that's why it will help to change it when there is interference. |
