The Bottom Line Avoid the combination of a wireless network and a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. Consider 900 MHz DSS cordless phones if you have a wireless network.

If you're using a standard IEEE 802.11b Wireless Network (or plan to in the future), it's important to realize that the wireless networking devices use the same frequency (2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz) as 2.4 GHz phones.

How will that affect a 2.4 GHz phone?

You'll often hear a "crackling" noise while talking on the phone.

How will that affect the wireless network?

While you're talking on the phone, the wireless network can quit working.

What can I do?

Avoid the combination of a wireless network and a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. If you still want a high quality cordless phone, you might consider 900 MHz DSS.
