yeah i got a 2.4ghz phone
ur probably rite but does any1 else have this problem?

 

[fistpittingnork]

Nope.. 5.4ghz phones only here...

802.11a runs around 5ghz, all else uses 2.4ghz... You might want to go into your wireless router settings and change the channel to 1 or 11, if that still doesn't work, try channel 6.

Let me know how that works out.

 

[HelpMeGetWii]

i have it one channel 1 though

 

[fistpittingnork]

Well try channel 11 then, if that doesn't work, try channel 6.

uhh no.... i can use my internet on my computer while i use my phone sooo yeah i don't have dial-up

yeah my channel was at 6 before but it didn't work so i changed it to channel 1 do u think channel 11 would fix my problem

 

[fistpittingnork]

Worth a shot, 11 works best for mine.

 

[HelpMeGetWii]

802.11b and 802.11g both use the 2.4ghz range, which is the same as many cordless phones. I used to get kicked off my wireless connection all the time when someone used the phone until I bought my own place.

Basically, the phones and Wii are trying to use the same airwaves.

so changing channels won't do anything?
