I am using a wireless router and wireless usb adapters. Each time my phone rings, I get a pop-up on one of the pc's that says basically "wireless connection 2 is now connected". I have to close the pop-up each time. I'm not using cable telephone, it's a dial phone with Verizon. any ideas?
A couple of possibilities, plus or minus all the information you didn't give us:
1) Not all of your phones have DSL filters on them, and when the phone rings it knocks the DSL line off, or resets your DSL-WiFi Router. 2) Your cordless 2.4GHz phone base station's "ring" signal to it's handset(s) is interfering with your WiFi, and knocking your computer off-line, though it immediately reconnects.
I'll buy the second on on the 2.4ghz phone. I don't have DSL.

Change WiFi broadcast channel on the router.
or better yet, buy a 900mhz or 5.8ghz wireless phone. WiFi and 2.4GHz wireless phones uses the same general frequency range.
Had a friend with a D-Link b card. Everytime the phone rang the card would sign off its wireless connection ( or so I was told). Problem was that the wife was deaf so caused no end of the confusion. The problem was solved with a simple card swap to another brand.

Some 5.8 gHz phones uses 2.4 gHz for one direction. So make sure you research before buying one.
interesting...good to know.
