It embarrasses me that it took this long to discover this correlation.
You know how one of the great advantages to having DSL is that you can talk on the phone without going offline?
It turns out that our cordless phone interferes with our wireless network, so I lose internet connection when I’m talking on the phone.
*sigh*
Is that why our DSL connection goes down every night? Please let that be the answer!
That is pretty infuriating though. You think they’d at least give people a warning or something!
Heh heh…you said “go down.”
I coulda said “Is that why my DSL connection goes down on me every night?”
heehee – talk about cybersex!
Try changing the Channel on your wireless router.
The Channel sets a frequency for communication. The range used for wireless network is the same one for wireless phones, remote controls (radio, not infrared) and other devices. You should be able to pick between at least six channels on the router, one of them is probably clear. You may also be able to choose a channel on the phone.
Remember if you change the channel on the router, you may need to change the settings on the wireless card driver as well.
Good luck!
