Hello all, here's hoping this question doesn't spark another record setting thread :-)
A few months ago, my parents finally took the leap and got a cable modem, they have hardwood floors so wifi was a lifesaver for connecting the computer to the modem. Lately however an interesting problem has started. Whenever they use the cordless phone, the wifi drops out. Hang up phone, wifi reconnects. Any clue why this would be? The phones are 5Ghz so there shouldn't be any interference with the 2.4 Ghz wifi, right? It's a Buffalo base station and we had a buffalo card as well, but it's reception wasn't great so I just swapped it for an airlink. Better signal strength and reception on the new card, but still drops off when using the phone. One phone base is located in the kitchen about 12 to 15 feet away, other phone base is near the base station, but actually causes less reliable drop offs. Any ideas?
