Both my neighbor and I are having problems with our phones (cordless). We both have the Time Warner Cable broadband/digital phone service. I'm wondering if the problems we're experiencing are similiar to the DSL issues NP was having, and if I should buy a higher GHz wireless phone system for the house.

With all this wireless stuff -- internet, cordless phones, cell phones, etc., I'm wondering if there's just too much interference for stuff to work right. :shrug:

It's all different frequencies. They shouldn't interfere with each other.

:yay: Make sure it's a 5.8 GHz system.

I had phone problems conflicting with wireless internet. Your wireless router is 2.4 ghz. I got a 5.8 phone. Only problem is that most 5.8 phones are only 5.8 one way!!!
The only phone that I found is the uniden tru5.8 Of course none of the manufacturers tell you their product is only 5.8 one way. The sales people in the stores don't even know.

Use a wired system and no problems. :shrug:

:confused: I don't get it; 5.8GHz one way? What's going the other way? :shrug:

The other way is 2.4

The other way is 2.4

Ahhh, thx! :nerd: :wink:

Your phone and your wireless router both have mulitple channels. Change the channel on one or the other until you find a "clean" channel that won't interfere. I had to set my router to Channel 11, and haven't had any problems since.

Is Solomons I had mine set to channel 6, then I had a neighbor move in and my internet went to crap, had to go in and change the channel on my router again, and only found ONE clean one.

I thought you could only change the channels on the phone when the phone is actually on. :confused: My problem is that it's not even ringing. The one upstairs rings, but the one downstairs doesn't; yet there's something wrong with the one upstairs in that it won't let me answer it. Yesterday, I went to make a call, and didn't realize that someone was there, calling me, because it wasn't ringing. Screw it, I'm going to best buy to get a new phone system for the house today. My current system is a couple years old anyway, so what the hell. :yay:

I didn't expect a NASCAR fan to understand...

Alright; I hit Best Buy today and picked up the Uniden. Hopefully this will solve the interference problems.

I thought it was interesting, though, that there were a couple of "wireless friendly" cordless phones claiming to be 6.0 something but showed 1.9GHz in the fine print. :confused:

your battery may have been bad in one of the phones...

but not like that matters anyways...

If your phones still dont work I would try degaussing the multilayer board on the main handset jack. You can do this with any ordinary hairdryer. You have to place the main jack on a nonconductive material... say plastic table? All unplugged. Then you dip a screwdriver in water and put the screwdriver right on the outside of the hairdryer while you are blowing it on the high setting. NO HEAT. This is call the triboelectric effect. You have to blow all around the main jack. Might have to keep dipping the screwdriver in a cup filled with water... after that, plug it all back in but make sure its all dry and there is no water on the main jack before you do so. Should work no problem then.

Thanks, but I'm all psyched about the new phone and the features it has. The one I had was several years old so it was about time for a replacement anyway. :wink:

BTW, I'm loving the new phone system. :yay:

I have a brand new phone, and no idea how to use it. I am technology challenged. :dunce:

Don't feel bad; I didn't even take 2 seconds to find out what all the phone can/can't do. I just plugged it in, and voila. So long as it rings and sounds clear, I'm happy. Screw the fru-fru features. :wink:

That's nothing to be embarrassed about. :huggy:


You should be embarrassed that your phone also has a video camera, and that she saw you doing that stuff in curlers while wearing Bob's leather chaps. :really:
