Hi,

A bit of an odd question... Has anyone ever heard of, or experienced,
WiFi interfering with a wireless doorbell so that it activates the
remote doorbell unit making it chime, even though the main unit has not
gone off? Is it even possible, or are the wifi and doorbell units
likely to be running on vastly different frequencies? (The wifi unit
is Apple Airport, I believe).

Many thanks,

Andy

Your doorbell or the stuff that came with it will say what frequency it
uses..

i doubt it uses 2.4ghz

Are you sure that your neighbour hasn't maybe purchased the same model and
is using the same frequency.

You can normally change the frequency on the wireless doorbells with a
couple of switches on the bell push and in the bell itself.

Cheers

It's actually my wife's work which is having the problem, but it's good
to know that the wifi (which they're also having problems with!) is not
likely to be the issue. I'll pass on your thoughts about the
neighbour, Eddie, thanks.

Cheers,

Andy
