I have a 2.4 GHz wireless phone in the house

Will it cause a lot of interference?

Re: I have a 2.4 GHz wireless phone in the house

Yes, it uses the same frequency band.

Try to get an old 900 MHz if you can still find one. (Mainly because they're cheap.)

Otherwise look for a 5.x GHz phone

We ended up doing this in my apartment, where I have 802.11g.

Unless

You use DSL. I've gotten warnings about that and possible interference from 900mhz phones before....

Hmmmm

Haven't heard that.

I have DSL, connected to my Airport Extreme base station, which acts as a NAT/DHCP/Wireless bridge box for my home LAN. We used to have a 900 MHz phone and didn't have a problem. (Doesn't mean that said problems don't exist, though.)

I agree with an earlier suggestion to get a switch, though. I was having problems (low data rates) using a hub on the wired segment of the network and when I replaced it with a switch, I got significant improvement. Besides, switches are getting really cheap these days.
