Noisy Phone & Wireless Router

Apr 29, 2009 4 Replies

Uniden WDECT 2355 Cordless phone



NetGear Wireless Router DG834GU



NetGear WG511v2 PC Card



Am running the above, on my wireless network.



The phone is very noisy. Switch Router off noise goes.



Both are using 2.4GHz. Router was original on ch9.



Changed channels, made little difference.



Daughter has similar setup, and phone lives on top of router,



No noise.



Any help appreciated ...Ian



The only fix is to get rid of the phone. There's probably some manufacturing defect which causes it to splurge out RF interference.

On shopping for replacement phone, note carrier frequency, that it is NOT 2.4 GHz. Many available at 5.8 GHz or ~8 GHz. For example, mine at 5.8 GHz presents no problem with wireless access point nearby. Daughter is probably just lucky- one never can tell about actual transmit spectrum. John

DECT 6.0 phones are a good choice because they operate on 1.9 GHz. So attenuation and required power are less and they don't interfere with

2.4 GHz stuff. I recently retired an old Panasonic Gigaphone because of interference problems and replaced it with a phone using DECT 6.0

Hello George,

the problem was a faulty filter. All is quiet now.

Thank you ...Ian
