Yes. Either never use the phone while also using wireless or replace them with a DECT 6.0 phone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Enhanced_Cordless_Telecommunications#DECT_6.0 Another good way for me to blow away a wireless connection is to use my microwave. If you're curious, you could also look at this article: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30182-how-to-fix-your-wireless-network-part-1?showall=&start=2 (Note that the link above takes you to the middle of the first article of a series of three articles. The linked section talks about potential sources of wireless interference). Another common mistake with wireless is to place the Wireless Access Point (WAP) aka router in a less special location. I remember one person complaining about the poor range of his wireless network and he had the frickin' router on the floor of a closet. Just raising it up to the shelf level improved his connection strength. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
