Wireless network and digital phone!

[Stew]

I have digital phones in my house, iDECT ones. They are really noisy since I put in a Dlink wireless router. It was a long time ago but I just thought somebody might have a suggestion on how to stop the white noise!

 

So, any ideas?

Make sure theres an ADSL filter on each phone box, normally the fault

I only use one and it's got. There is another couple of boxes in the house but one is a different line. Should I put a filter on the other boxes even if there isn't a phone???

Its been suggested by telecoms companies that there should be a filter on each box even if not in use. Never had any problems with leaving them off boxes before though, worth trying though to make sure

Its the radio frequency. I think the Dlink and the phones either both run at 5ghz or 2.4ghz. Thats the top and bottom of it.

 

You could try switching the channels on the phone, or altering the channel number of the wireless router - it may help, but chances are it will still persist in some form. Your best bet is a different phone set with a ghz frequency different to that of the wireless router

I'll try the filters. Oh well, it's only my mum and sister that know my house number anyway so no point in buying knew phones! Everyone else just calls my mobile anyway!

You could also try placing the base station for the phones as far away from the router as possible, that may help too.

How does that work? A filter only filters what is upstream of the filter. i.e. anything connected on the phone side of the filter has the ADSL signal filtered out. It does not affect anything upstream.

Dont know its just what BT have suggested many times. Like I said ive never done it so cant verify it.
