Q. I have 2.4 ghz spread spectrum cordless phone that autoselects the clearest channel everytime you use the phone and there is no way to change the channel manually. I also have a linksys 2.4 ghz wireless router. Using the cordless phone renders my wifi useless 9 times out of 10. I have tried to change the routers wireless channel (possible values are 1-11 I think) but that did not solve the problem. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this interference?
A. Each device uses the same frequency band (as do garage door openers, baby monitors, Web cams, ....).
You can change frequency bands for one or the other. Use a 5Mhz phone, or a 5MHz band WiFi gear (802.11a).
Reduce the relative signal strength seen by the 802.11b/g stuff you've got. Move the phone to the other end of the house. Move the laptop (or whatever) closer, leaving the phone in the same place, ... Add an antenna (probably a corner reflector (chicken wire may be a perfectly sensible material) for the rubber ducky type of antenna design most commonly seen) to both ends of the WiFi link (you may not have to physically crack open the radios at either end, but note that this dodge increases signal strenght in one direction (and does the same to receiver sensitivity). Since both the phone handset(s) and the mobile WiFi device (a laptop, probably) is also mobile, this isn't any kind of universally adequate dodge. Find a way to reduce the phone's signal strength (probably not possible to non-techie types) unless it's possible to say, put soeme absorbing or reflecting material between the phone and the WIFi radios. An experimental bronze foil covered wall, perhaps. Ought to work well if you can keep the two radio types out of each other's effective range. May not be possible in some kinds of interior decorating environments. consult with those in charge before trying anything like this.
Another dodge ito try to arrange that the WiFi antennas are a 90 degree polarizatino difference than the phone antennas (as usually used; if you have sprawling teenagers, this may not be predictable).
Since both devices operate (or probably do) in a spread spectrum mode, each will appear to the other to be a general increase in the noise level against which they must work. Changing channels (if possible) isn't likely to be very effective. Too much noise, no radio receiver will be able to make sense of what it hears.

i have to keep telling my wireless connection to connect?
Q. I have a ZyXel Router connected to one PC and that works fine. No loss of connection.
I have a Belkin 802 11g Wireless Card in the other PC. It is this PC that keeps loosing connection.
I have done a number of things to try to stop this from happening - from enabling to disenabling Windows to find a connection; disenabling and enabling windows zero wireless configuration.
Getting fed up now!

A. The most likely cause of your problem is radio interference. A WiFi card is just a radio transceiver, and they are susceptible to interference from other devices, like cordless phones and baby monitors, and especially, from other WiFi networks. With the proliferation of WiFi access points in neighborhoods and apartment buildings, more and more people are having this kind of problem. You should also keep in mind that the clear air broadcast limit for WiFi access points as around 300 feet. If you're inside a structure, walls, furniture, and equipment limit the range even farther. I have one laptop computer that won't pick up a signal, or gets a very low signal, where my other ones work just fine. I have to move it closer to the router to get a good signal.
If you go into the configuration utility for your router - I can't be more specific than this - you should be able to change the channel it broadcasts on. That may help your problem. You won't need to do anything with the computers, since they'll find the channel on their own. If it doesn't help, try a different WiFi card. They work best when they're made by the same company as the router.

How can i get the highest possible Internet speed/dl speed?
Q. I have wlan connection with a nominal transfer rate of 54 MBit/s. Internetfrog etc. say that my dl speed is abt. 1.8 MBit/s. How can i get the most out of my connection? Or else, what do i have to change to get the highest possible speed? Thanks for any response!

A. go to speedtest.net get an accurate speed - and then make sure all your phone extensions have line filters - there is no large amounts of excess cable and make sure all connections are secure, also make sure there is no interference from microwaves other wifi networks or wireless baby monitors
How can i make WIFI go faster because it always seems to go slow?
Q.
A. Wireless internet is typically slower than wired.
Try to minimize sources of potential interference such as radios, baby monitors and cell phones as these can all lead to signal attenuation. Other then that you can upgrade your wireless access point or your NIC (N+ is the current leading technology. Or even move closer to the access point.
