Alternatively I could get an extension cable for the phone but running it to the other end of the room will be a right PITA.

Off-field thought....can you alter the wifi aerial orientation ? No aerial attached to the box, aerial must be built in
Could it be mains borne interference ? dunno Have you got any ferrite beads ? unfortunately not
Do you have any ethernet cables plugged in to the router ? yes the mac is on ethernet Could you remove them temporarily ? I will try that later but I do not understand what difference that will make.

Andyp wrote:Me too Mark. There is some stuff on the web about interference from ethernet cables but I am not sure that I understand how a router pushing out 2.4ghz radio waves can transmit over the ethernet cable to interfere with a cordless phone that recieves 1.9ghz.
I have bought a pack of those snap on ferrite thingies and will try to surpress the ethernet cable in due course.

I will still try and sort this out with the ISP and see if we can get a new router anyway. I now know that there 5.0ghz routers available. Perhaps that will work better?
