I haven't had a normal phone in a long time. As I already mentioned I installed Vonage in order to lower my cell phone bill. I also picked up a new set of wireless phones for the house. I picked out a 2.4Ghz GE phone. It was cheap and I figured it will do the job.
Ever since I installed Vonage I started having some problems with my wireless network. My laptop would connect for a while, then disconnect, then connect again randomly. Since I had just installed Vonage I tried unplugging the Vonage box, but the problem was still there. After thinking about it for a bit it finally dawned on me that the 2.4Ghz phone sitting next to my router might be the culprit. I moved it and sure enough the problem went away.
So don't put your wireless router next to your wireless phone.
