WTF? Using SBC/ATT, whenever someone is on the phone the wireless connection is lost. yes, i have the filters in, and am using a netgear router. Any other ideas?

Are you using a wireless phone?

if you are make sure that it dosent operate on the 2.4ghz band. If it does it could get conflicting with your wireless signal

I've had to change the channel on the router before from interference, also make sure you've got the DSL filters installed on every connection.

Yes, wireless phone, and yes, 2.4 I believe, how would I go about changing that? Thanks for the info. BP, I'll try what you said also.

you cant change the frequency of the phone or the wireless lan signal.

Might want to get a phone that operates on a different band, or a non wireless phone.

Try a corded phone and see if it still gets knocked off. It may be a bad card in the RT hut out in the field. That is a pretty common issue. A simple pair change will fix it if it is the card.

Just noticed you fixed it. Disregard :D
