Q. ...interference problems?
A few times w week family members experience the inability to connect to my wireless network. I am thinking it may be interference of some sort. Sometimes it lasts a the better part of a day. I already changed my cordless phone system to a DECT 6.0 which helped greatly, but it still happens sometimes. Will selecting a specific cahnnel help? If so, which one?

A. If you live in an apartment complex, while you might have changed out your 2.4GHz phones with DECT 6.0 phones (which actually operate at 1.9GHz, just in case you were curious; DECT6 is a standard number, not a frequency), your neighbors might not have changed out theirs. Thus, you could still be getting interference from such phones. Also, there are other devices that tend to work in that frequency range: wireless intercoms, baby monitors, etc. If you have any of these devices, make sure to check their manuals to see that they are not in the same frequency range.
Now, if you want my educated guess as to whether it will help to set a specific channel, while I say possibly since there is a chance that it will, I would say that the result will probably be no. The reason being that, while you may set your router not to hope around between the eleven available channels, the other devices that could be causing interference will still hop around and will occasionally end up on the same channel, thus continuing to cause the interference anyway.
Also, something else to be aware of, if you do set it to a specific channel, make sure that you aren't shooting yourself in the foot. Some routers require the ability to use certain channels to achieve maximum throughput. For example, to get the best connectivity on my D-Link DIR-625 Wireless-N router, I must use channel 6. Depending on which model of Netgear router you have, you could be in a similar situation. If you would send me a note saying what model of router you have, I could better advise you as to how best to set up your router.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

my cordless phone just cut out while talking?
Q. I can no longer talk on the phone outside of the house, and lately the phones will just 'cut out' while talking. Phone doesn't go dead, it just 'cuts out'.
A. where is the question in all of that?
how old is the phone or batteries?
what frequency is the phone, 5.8ghz, 2.4ghz, 900mhz, 1.9ghz (DECT)?
do you have other wireless devices that operate in the same frequency as your phone, wifi, wireless cameras, wireless intercom, baby monitor, etc?
if the batteries are over 2 years old i would replace them...
if your phone is 900 Mhz or has a channel button on it, i would replace the phone...
if you have a 2.4 ghz phone and wifi, i would change the channel that the wifi operates on, or replace the phone with a 5.8ghz or DECT phone..
i would place the main base in a centralized location depending on where you want the cordless phones to reach.. up as high as possible..

What is the difference between 5.8 gighrtz and 6.0 gighrtz?
Q. What is the difference between a phone that has 5.8 giga hertz and 6.0 giga hertz?
A. I think that you are asking in relation to cordless phones... In which case, there are NO 6.0Ghz cordless phones... there is however DECT 6.0 phones, which operate in the 1.9Ghz range...
When it comes to radio frequencies, the lower the frequency, the further the range, as long as all other factors remain the same. 900Mhz phones would in theory have the best range, however, they operate at lower transmitting power then other cordless phones.
From best (range, battery life, etc) to worse:
DECT 1.9Ghz - best range, least interference, unlicensed radio spectrum dedicated strictly for cordless telephones.
2.4 Ghz - next best range, however this unlicensed radio spectrum is crowded with wifi, wireless video cameras, and various other wireless consumer devices, and therefore subject to increased interference.
5.8Ghz - unlicensed radio spectrum, not as crowded as 2.4Ghz but also may contain other consumer electronics. range is limited compared to 2.4Ghz and DECT phones.
900Mhz - no security, can be listened in on any radio scanner ("police scanner") unless equipped with DSS. least range of all currently available cordless phones. Many consumer electronics such as baby monitors, and wireless intercom and doorbell systems, and garage door openers operate within this frequency range.
1st Gen cordless phones (aprox 48Mhz) - poorest range, no security, can be listened in on with a radio scanner, also shares unlicensed frequencies with baby monitors. Limited frequencies. No longer commercially available, however some (very few) of these phones are still in use.

do wireless landlines pick up yours or your neighbors phone conversation?
Q. i dont have unlimted minutes on my cell phone.my parents believe that if you have a wireless your neighbors could listen to the conversation know i cant talk on the phone while on the computer or go to my room im going to show my parents the anwsers please help convince them that a wireless land line is better
A. the first cordless phones operated around 48Mhz as well as baby monitors and the like...and were easy for people to listen in on your conversations.. it was not uncommon for a baby monitor to pick up your conversation, or for 2 cordless phones to hear each other....
the 900 Mhz phones solved some of those problems... but people with radio scanners (police scanners) could still listen in on your calls...
DSS technology stopped that... and many newer 900 Mhz phones come with DSS...
also most 2.4Ghz phones have DSS or FHSS, aside from that, most radio scanner equiptment only goes up to 1.3Ghz - however these phones may interfere with WiFi
5.8Ghz phones also normally come with DSS or FHSS... and again are outside the range of most radio scanners.... however, because they are a higher frequency the range is less...
DECT phones operate within the 1.9Ghz range, are immune to interference from other devices, and provide the best range, clarity, and security...
so the only way that a neighbor can listen in to your conversation with a cordless phone that you purchace today would be if you bought a 900Mhz phone that did not have DSS....
