2.4GHz Cordless phone interferance

[EssJayKay]

I have a netgear router and PCMCIA card set up on a wireless network. It seems that my cordless phone interfears with the signal absed on tests. The connection goes out sometimes when I am not on the phone, probably another unit in my apartment complex is on the phone.

Are there any products to counteract this? Possibly a jammer or a signal booster to boost the network?

Depending on the phone.. maybe. Try changing the default channel 6 of the wireless unit/NIC to channel 1. Sometimes you can set the AP and NIC to find the least busy channel. Cisco offers this.

If the phone is as spreadspectrum, then you are out of luck. Also, some devices while they claim they work on certain channels are so poorly built they *bleed* over into all the other channels. I have a video extender that does this.
