Question about wireless network and cordless phones?

Question

I need to buy a new cordless phone and I am looking to get a dual handset because of the amount phone jacks I have which is just one :(

I noticed that there are two types of cordless phones. I currently have a 5.8GHz phone and there is another new one out called DECT 6.0 Digital. I recently purchased a laptop and plan on going wireless. I am not currently wireless i have an ethernet cable pugged directly into my laptop. Will my current cordless phone 5.8GHz one interfere with the wireless. I live in a small apartment. sorry I am new to the whole laptop and wireless thing. Please help :)

Answer 1

not at all the only phones you have to worry about interfering with your computer are 2.4 GHz  that is the frequency also shared with wireless routers for computers

Answer 2

5.8 GHz phones should work fine near Wireless-G (802.11g) routers.

I have two Panasonic 5.8 GHz phone base-units only a foot away from my Linksys Wireless-G Router and have never had a RFI interference problem between them.

If you are looking at DECT-6 phones, they should not be a problem either around Wireless-G or Wireless-N routers.  DECT-6 phones use the 1.9 GHz band, while Wireless-G uses 2.4 GHz band;  and Wireless-N use both 2.4/5.0 GHz bands.  Neither of these frequencies should interfere with 1.9 GHz DECT-6 phones or 5.8 GHz phones.

Answer 3

no!!! you will be just fine...
