I have the same issue and know it is my telephone that is
causing the drop outs. As soon as the 2.4 ghz phone
rings and I answer, the wireless network drops for the
duration of the phone call. Hang up and the network
comes back up.
It is unbelievably annoying in this age of 2.4ghz
telephones and MS really needs to address this. Really.
