Would the frequency hopping (FH) equipment of another vendor that sits next to our direct sequence (DS) equipment have any negative effect?
A. Yes. By its very nature, an FH product hops across the entire 2.4 frequency band. Therefore, it causes interference to WLAN 802.11 b/g products that operate in 2.4 GHz. There is no way to control where an FH unit hops.Try one or all of these steps: • Change the location of the access point and/or the base of the cordless phone. • Switch to channel 1 on the access point. If that does not work, try channel 11. • Use a remote antenna on the client card if it is a PCI- or ISA-based card and you have that option. • Operate the phone with the antenna lowered, if that is an option. • If all else fails, use a 900-MHz phone instead of a 2.4-GHz phone.
