Router interfering with phone...

[Geoff]

I bought a Belkin 802.11gwireless broadband router and a Belkin 802.11g wireless card. Since it runs at 2.4Ghz, and our cordless phones are at 2.4Ghz, i am hearing static when im on the phone, which gets louder as you talk. Does anyone know of a way i can prevent this without changing networking equipment of phones?

YEA YEA YEA 2.4Ghz will dissrupt the signal of a 2.5ghz out put device. It is like radio stations.

Get a new phone?

Our phones have a filter to filter out the DSL static on the one line, maybe there is something that does that for wireless routers, but I doubt it. You're probably sunk

BTW, Microwaves' natural frequency is also 2.4GHz

I don't know much about networking, but maybe try to change your router channel, default is usually channel 6, to get to your router config, just type in your router's ip into your website bar in your browser and change it from there.

Are you sure that a different channel will change the freq? Ours says on it 2.4GHz, and there are other channels. I dont think it will change the freq. Doesn't hurt to try, though

Not sure, Just an idea...

Maybe reset the router also...

Resetting it won't make a difference, because it will reset it to 2.4GHz, the regular frequency.

i reset the router, modem, and i have phone filters installed, but we might need a "whole house filter" that costs about $70. Because for some strange reason, it happens every once and a while, its not constant. And u hear static on the corded phone also.

I had a similar problem, for me it would actually disconnect my pc connected via wireless pci card.

I just went out and bought a 5.8Ghz cordless phone

How would buying a new phone help? the static occurs on both corded and cordless phones, and it only happens once and a while.

And just to let you all know, i dont need anymore help with this, the static only happens once and a great while now, so thanks for your help.

It wouldn't help. You need a phone filter: something like this
We use them, and they work fine

Perhaps move the base of the phone so that it is farther from the laptop that you are accessing internet with.
