2.4GHz-Friendly Phones?

da3dAlus writes "When I first bought my 2.4GHz wireless phone system several years ago, it was a rather new technology, and wi-fi wasn't even on the scene. Now it appears that all wireless phones are on the 2.4 or 5.8 GHz spectrum, and I've got neighbors with wi-fi (with myself included). While checking out new phones recently, I've noticed some are carrying a "802.11 Friendly" sticker. The question is, are there any trully 802.11 friendly phones? Has anyone really ever had a problem with these types of phones interfering with their wi-fi network?"

  1. Why YES, I have had problems by johncel · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So, I had a linksys wifi router and an AT&T 2.4 gHz phone... They fought like dogs! If the phone rang, wifi was out for at least 5 mins after you hung up. What a pain. I finally just bought a 5.8 gHz phone.
