I have a question for Andy and then one for Karl.
Andy:
b) picked a new radio frequency that does *not* have interference issues with my 2.4GHz wireless telephone...(I haven't tried the microwave oven yet...).
What freq did you find that the 2.4GHz wireless telephone did not interfere with? What channel did you finally end up using?
Hi Liz, My telephone caused problems on Ch 1 and Ch 2, but Ch 3 is OK. Here's how I figured this out. I setup the network on Ch 1 and got some downloads working well. Then, I turned on the phone and immediately saw the wifi come to a screeching halt. Turn off the phone, and the wifi bounces back. One can see this with the ping command as well. I had been using Ch 10 with unpredictable results. It turns out that one of my neighbors is using Ch 10. 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. Happy New Year!
