Baby monitor interference?

Hi,

I recently tried to use a 2.4Ghz video baby monitor but, as I have since learned is quite common, it interfered with our home wireless network. It's run through a 3-year-old Belkin 54G.

Switching channels on the monitor didn't help, so I returned it (it had other problems, too)

I've noticed a few on the market, however, that transmit at 900mhz. I was wondering if I would be less likely to experience network problems using a 900mhz device, or if that doesn't matter.

I've also been considering getting a new network router, as I've never liked the Belkin much. Are newer models better protected against interference like this?

Don't know much about this, obviously. I scouted out some wireless network cameras as an option, but they're a little too expensive/buggy right now.

Thanks, if you have any advice.
