I tried searching but no result.

I got my wireless G all hooked up and finally got sharing and everything to work thanks to karatekid3d's add service suggestion, but now I got the problem of having all 2.4ghz phones and when I get a call, and answer.....bam connection lost.

I have 128 wep enabled.

Anyone find a way around this disconnect?

Change the channel your access point and card are using. you should have 11 channels available to you, and each is at a slightly different frequency band.

What I do as a quick-fix in such situations, is switch the phone to the lowest-frequency channel it has, and the ap and client to the highest channel (11).

Sometimes you may run into harmonics problems, if the signal from either is strong enough. You'll know if you do, because the problem keeps happening. If that's the case, move the phone one channel up or the AP/client one channel down. That's usually enough of a frequency shift to avoid any harmonics you might be seeing.

I believe that there are 6 "channels" to choose from in 802.11g. Just switch the channels until you get it right.

Odd. The IEEE spec for 802.11g states 11, and the Atheros chipset has the capability for 11 built-in, just like the 802.11b spec. g can only handle 3 simultaneous channels, however.

ok thanks for the fast replies guys, I changed the channel as high as it could go, and the phone is on as we speak and it seems to work fine.

Hope im all setup good now.

I'm sure you're right. I was just going off the top of my head. I didn't see your post. If I had, I wouldn't have replied since you pretty much had the same answer (switching channels).
