I've got 2.4Ghz wireless phones all over the house!!! the base station is less than 10 feet from my router.
As an experiment, turn off the 2.4Ghz phones (baby monitors, microwaves, etc) and see if WiFi works. If it does start working reliably then consider:
right now, of course the laptop is sitting 4 feet from the router, everything is working and I have a 94% connection. IF I move it to the living room, or outside on the porch, and I run into problems, I'll either move the base station or change the channel, or BOTH.
1) changing the channel WiFi uses. That should solve the phone issue if there is one 2) moving the WiFi access point and phone base station further away from each other 3) 5.8Ghz phones?... they probably won't interfere with anything for a few months!
I'm not replacing these phones any time soon, unless they break :) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
