Oh he's in trouble now. No doubt about it. The PM's you sent me are pretty conclusive. Unless he sends me something you didn't, its not looking good for him.

I'm hearing some thunder outside too. Hopefully we'll get a little rain out of it too.  8)

The cordless phone runs through the entire 2Ghz band. As for those GHz labels on the channels, their pretty much universal. If your router is on channell 11, you can be confident that that is the frequency its on.

They take up the ENTIRE frequency? thats weird.

Yes, and its not weird. Its normal. Cordless phones run entire spectrums (frequency ranges), not just a single frequency. It can (and does) use any frequency in the 2.4Ghz range.

I guarantee it will continue to work. What's strange though, is that I have my modem and router set up in my living room, and my cordless telephone only sits about 5 or 6 feet away, yet I haven't experienced any disconnection problems (certainly not on the scale of what you went through).

Of course, they have different types of cordless phones, and different types may cause different amounts and types of interference. Some operate on the 900mhz band, some operate at 1Ghz or more, and then there's those spectrum spread telephones. So I guess it could all depend on exactly what kind of cordless phones you have.

Seems to me that the foreigners don't pose any more risk than any American driver-even licensensed ones.

There is this person out of the area (somewhere in east central PA) who has been calling my dad's home phone several times in the past few days, including three times early this morning, twice at 3AM and again near 6AM. The last time he called was about a half-hour ago and my dad answered it and it was some guy with a Russian accent who didn't seem to understand English. He told the guy he got the wrong number, then he called once again shortly thereafter. He hasn't called since, though.

I hate it when people call me in the middle of the night. :glare:

Does anyone know how I can block someone from calling me? My dad has Comcast phone service and he is already signed up for the "do not call" list, if that helps.

Umm...take your phone off the hook? Seriously, you can't stop people from dialing wrong numbers.
