Uniden 2.4Ghz Cordless Phone usage causes dropped... (by 3 users)

Move the 2.4 Ghz phones as far away as possible from the 802.11
networking hardware.  Also make sure they are not between the router &
any of the wireless clients.

The problem is that the wireless specification for 802.11b & 802.11g
says that the output can only be up to 1 Watt while your phone is most
likely kicking out double or triple digits on the wattage.  That is
where the problem comes from.

Another option is switch to either 900 Mhz of 5.8 Ghz only phones (most
of the 5.8 Ghz phones still use the 2.4 Ghz frequency).

I was having this issue with my GE Microwave... Meaning I
couldn't work in the kitchen (by the coffee pot!) when
the microwave was in use! We just purchased a GE 2.4 Ghz
phone system and now I am hooped when ever the phones are
in use!!!!!!!!!!!

mentioned.  ;-)  Take a look,

    Well, I understand his plight ... The Uniden 2.4GHz phones are
*particularly* nasty, and there's simply no way to avoid being knocked off,
no matter the placement.  My wife, in the kitchen with the basestation, can
knock me off when I'm 4 feet from my MN-700, which is located an easy 40
feet away.
    Lost cause ... most of the Uniden 5.8 GHz aren't any better, save the
ones OEM'd by Vtech.

Take care,
Mark

    Yeah, that's one of the V-Tech OEM units I mentioned.  ;-)  Take a look,
and you'll find the identical phone as Philips, Motorola and VTech.

I'm not thinking a phone filter is going to work due to the fact they only filter out noise on the phone system and not the wireless transmission. There is no real way to prevent them from reacting to each other. My only recommendation if changing the channel on the router to say 1 or 11 doesn't work, a change to a 5.8ghz phone may be an only option. Placing DSL filters on your phone lines will help if your DSL modem is dropping off, not your wireless router.

I am having a similar problem. I have a GE 25951 5.8Ghz, and a Uniden EXP741 2.4 Ghz phone that interfere with a wireless interent service. I have DSL filters on all phones and it doesn't help at all. I also have a Uniden EXP370 900Mhz phone that doesn't interfere even though the service provider says that is the only phone that can interfere Any suggestions..

that has not been my experience at all. i've got
http://www.uniden.com/product. cfm?product=TRU8885-2 and three
satellite add on units and none of my wireless is impacted here.

I think that's one of the few models they make that doesn't use 2.4 Ghz.
