[QUOTE="QuiksilverMusic, post: 959869, member: 135234"] Ok, so Im a newbie here but maybe someone can help me out. I recently bought an Airport Extreme to use as my wireless base station in the house. I use At&t DSL as well as At&t home phone service. So I have my DSL running from the modem (provided to me from At&t) to the Extreme, which then runs directly to a Compaq PC. Now we also have a 24inch iMac, a 13inch Macbook Pro, an Acer Laptop and 2 PS3's running off of the wireless network in the house. I've had no problem with any of these devices as far as being able to access the network and internet. But the one problem we are having is that any time the home phone (which I dont have exact model info with me, Im at work currently) is accessed and in use we lose internet on all devices running off of the wireless. Now, I did do a search here on the forums to see if there was anyone else having a similar problem and I did find a thread where someone was asking about possible interference and I wasnt sure if it would be best to resurrect that thread or create a new one, so I apologize if I should have done option 1 haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated. When I get home I'll get the home phone specs to further help anyone who needs it. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
