Hello,
I have a 2.4GHz Linksys Wireless Router as well as a 2.4GHz Panasonic portable phone at home. While I'm using my laptop (WinXP Home) with a DLink wireless card anywhere within the normal range of the router, I have no issues. I installed an xterasys Wireless PCI card in my desktop (WinXP Pro) and while my connection shows "Excellent" my Link Quality sits at anywhere between 50% - 100% and declines as I surf. Is there anything that would cause the phone and the router to collide? I know that they are both running 2.4GHz, but that's just the amount of data that they are pushing isn't it? If that's not the case, what would cause this issue? I'm about to return my wireless card and just go back to the wired connection if I can't get this worked out. Someone please let me know if there is a good answer to this problem.
