2.4 GHz phone and network clash - help recommend a replacement phone
We currently have 2.4 GHz spread spectrum phone and 2.4 GHz router (Dlink Air-Extreme). Unfortunately the phone and network don't play nicely together. Whenever the phone is in use the wireless computer loses access to the network. Even without the phone in use the network strength is only ever ~30-40%. So we're looking for recommendations for a replacement phone
Features we want:
- Good voice quality
- Doesn't interfere with our wireless network.
- Call display
- Range of ~50 ft.
- Reasonably privacy - so our neighbours can't accidentally hear our conversations (nothing sophisticated)
- Good battery life.
Are there any good 900 MHz phones still available?? Are the new 5.4 GHz phones any good?? Is their range especially through walls ok?? What phone do you use??
BTW I've tried changing channels on both the router and the phone - nothing helps. It appears the phone is just too noisy,
Update: We've had the Uniden 5.8 GHz for a few months now. Mostly the phone works well enough. However even though we only use the phone 20 ft from the base station we sometimes get a lot of static. (No microwave ovens or baby monitors are on when have problems). Its frustrating when technology doesn't just work.
