Well, if it's 802.11G then it's not going to interfere with phones
running at 5GHz. Maybe the device is reaching its end of life? I poked
around in some forums and apparently there have been firmware updates
for this device. Have you ever done a firmware update? Is this hardware
supplied by your ISP? If so, maybe you can contact them about dropouts.
They might have a few suggestions.

Hi,
the router is a Billion BiPac 7300G running 802.11G.
Thanks again for the help.

What kind of router is it and can you tell what networking is it
using (802.11G or 802.11N)? 2007 is right about when the 802.11N
routers came out and many of those were built using the draft
standards which means they didn't get everything right. 802.11N also
can run in the 5GHz range.

Hi,
I am reasonably sure that my phones are on 5GHZ band, so that
shouldn’t be the problem. I am still having problems with the iPad
continuing to play music. I called Apple but of course the problem
did not occur when I was talking with them.

As some background, years ago I had an 802.11B or G router (can't
recall which) that would drop connections when I used my particular
Panasonic wireless phone. Apparently that phone ran on the same
2.4GHz radio band as the Wifi which is also the same band as my
microwave oven. In other words, that radio band is crowded such
that using my microwave made noise on the phone while using my
phone would cause my wifi to slow to a crawl or drop. The oven is
old so apparently it is not as shielded as newer ones. Anyway, I
never could get the wifi and phone to cooperate and ended up having
to get a newer phone. Apparently the newer ones are 'frequency
agile' and will hop around noisy parts of the spectrum such as my
wifi and microwave. After that I had no more problems. I ended up
giving the old phone to my inlaws who put it in their detached
garage, away from everything else.

Hi,
Nope. Your devices will just grab the signal they need no matter
which channel is being broadcast.

Thanks Tim,
the router is on channel 6. If I change it to 11, do I have to do
anything to other wireless devices using the network?
Thanks again.

Hi,
It could have something to do with the signal your router is
delivering, that is, B, G or N signal. If it is an older router
and a newer iPad, they often don’t like each other that much and
this sort of thing isn’t out of the ordinary. The other option
is signal interference from things like cordless phones and
such. These sorts of wireless devices often interfere with the
WiFi signal at those older frequencies. Make sure that those
kinds of devices are not set close to the router itself and you
may wish to change which signal frequency your router emits. If
it is transmits using channel 6, maybe change it to channel 11.

Hi,
I have my Mac set to sleep after 3 hours. This is not an issue
in this case as I was working on my computer and my wife was
listening to music on the iPad. Yesterday it was dropping out
after 15-20 minutes.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
First, confirm that the computer delivering the Shared iTunes
Library is not going to sleep. You can set those settings in
the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. Make sure that
the computer never goes to sleep and that only the display
goes to sleep. This should eliminate that as an issue and can
look at the router next.
