Uniden 2.4Ghz Cordless Phone usage causes dropped signal

I have searched high and low to find out how to get my MN-
700 Wireless-G Base to stop dropping signals when any of
my Uniden 2.4Ghz phones are used. I tried changing the
channel on the phones - nothing. I tried changing the
default channel in the Network software that came with the
Wireless unit - nothing ... are there any instructions
that can help me solve this problem as it is becoming
difficult to continue working. thanks.

Move the 2.4 Ghz phones as far away as possible from the 802.11
networking hardware. Also make sure they are not between the router &
any of the wireless clients.

The problem is that the wireless specification for 802.11b & 802.11g
says that the output can only be up to 1 Watt while your phone is most
likely kicking out double or triple digits on the wattage. That is
where the problem comes from.

Another option is switch to either 900 Mhz of 5.8 Ghz only phones (most
of the 5.8 Ghz phones still use the 2.4 Ghz frequency).

Well, I understand his plight ... The Uniden 2.4GHz phones are
*particularly* nasty, and there's simply no way to avoid being knocked off,
no matter the placement. My wife, in the kitchen with the basestation, can
knock me off when I'm 4 feet from my MN-700, which is located an easy 40
feet away.
Lost cause ... most of the Uniden 5.8 GHz aren't any better, save the
ones OEM'd by Vtech.

Take care,
Mark

http://www.uniden.com/product.cfm?product=TRU8885-2 and three
satellite add on units and none of my wireless is impacted here.

I think that's one of the few models they make that doesn't use 2.4 Ghz.

Yeah, that's one of the V-Tech OEM units I mentioned. ;-) Take a look,
and you'll find the identical phone as Philips, Motorola and VTech.
