Thanks Andy.
For clarification:
Then, I turned on the phone and immediately saw the wifi come to a screeching halt.
turned on -- Did you initiate an actual phone call (TX & RX sigs) at this point, or do you mean that you plugged in the telephone base unit to the power and the phone line?
Hi Liz, I specifically removed the handset from the base of the telephone and turned on the handset. That allows me to hear the dial tone, which I'm sure causes a radio signal to be initiated between the handset and the base.
In addition, I ran kismet and sniffed the local wireless networks. I can see networks from 3 of my neighbors. Ch 3 is not in use by any of them.
Tomato on my Linksys will detect nearby wireless sigs & indicate what channel they're using, plus several more details about them. My Linksys has about 16 MD of memory, long may it live.
I have seriously considered putting Tomato on my WRT54GL but I haven't done it yet.
