[DM-MUG] wireless channel

[AB]

You may have to reset up your airport settings on the two client machines if they don't automatically register the channel change themselves. I can't precisely recall how to do this. My airport on my mac only works once in a blue moon if at all.

Yes, try another channel, and try adding a DSL line filter between the phone and the wall jack. Otherwise you may have to physically move the phone's base, the mac book, or the airport 3 feet away from each other to reduce interference. I had a cordless phone once interfere with my remote for my dvd and tv. I've also had a cordless phone interfere with wireless internet connection. Cordless phones keep being made with higher frequencies for a stronger signal. However it increases the likelihood of interference.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

My wife has
 been having trouble loosing her Airport connection fairly  
often. Her Mac Book is near a cordless phone and it looks like the  
interruption occurs when the phone is in use. If she turns the Airport  
off and then on it reconnects.  I just noticed that "use interference  
robustness" was turned off (thought it was on) so I turned it on and  
will see if if that helps. I was looking at the setting for channel  
and the base station is set for automatic and is using channel 2.  
Could it help to select another channel and if so will the two client  
machines automatically change their channels?
