Can the Internet service interfere with my cordless phone, baby monitor or other wireless household devices?
Our signal transmits at 900MHz and 2.4GHz. If your cordless phone, baby monitor, or other wireless household device is also at either of these frequencies, there could be interference on both services. On your phone, you might have buzzing. On the Internet connection, there may be data packet loss, which would cause sub-optimal performance. To avoid this problem, cordless phones in the building need to be at least 5.8Ghz or newer (current models at stores are “DECT 6.0”). Video baby monitors and wireless speakers also can cause problems. Please check the information with your product to determine the radio frequency it uses to transmit signal to determine if this might be the cause for poor Internet connections. If so, simply unplug and remove batteries from these devices, and your Internet should work fine.
