WTF Wednesday

I got a new desktop on Black Friday and got my monitor, a gift from John, on Christmas.  I was excited.  But the Linksys wireless adapter (WMP54GS) I bought is interfering with our cordless phone.  So every time somebody is on the phone, I get disconnected.

I called Linksys Technical Support (they’re actually very helpful), but the problem hasn’t been resolved.  I was told that there are no other products that won’t interfere with our cordless phone and that I have to either change my cordless phone or reposition it.  Then I responded, “Then why were the two laptops that were on the same desk as the desktop that keeps getting disconnected were connected fine the whole time?”  I really didn’t get a straight answer.

I better get a refund for this network adapter.

Now that’s really weird. I’ve never heard of network adapters interfering with cordless phone signals before. I have a wireless network at home and two cordless phones and they all work fine.
Yeah, you should just get a different model for your adapter.

btw, found this thread. i hope it helps.

thanks joan! first, i’ll try a different model. if that doesn’t work, i’ll change our phone to one that uses 5.8ghz
