Can 'Cordless Dect Phones' cause problems with Broadband Connections?

Question

I am using BT Voyager210 and it disconnects some times.I recently connected a new BT Equinox 1350 cordless phone. Would this cause any problems?

My broadband connection is not wireless

Answer 1

phones will only interfere with your broadband if you dont have filters in every socket in your house ,if you are using bt sockets to get your broadband you should have a little box to click into the sockets its the little box that normally has connection for the phone to go into and other for ethernet cable ,a common problem people do is say have 3 extensions in the house and only put the filter where the computer is they actually should have them in each socket .
cordless wont do any thing to your broadband just make sure you put a filter b&q probably have them.

Answer 2

They certainly can - many cordless phones operate on te same frequency as wireles networks. This can cause your wireless network to drop when the phone is in use. Sometimes you don't even need to have the phone in use - just have the handset near the computer.

Answer 3

I think they can interfere with wireless internet connections.
