I am suddenly experiencing really awful interference on my 2.4 GHz cordless phones. It's intermittent, though. About half the time when I push Talk, it occurs, and if it does occur, I just hang up and try again and it's fine. It happens on incoming and outgoing calls. I plugged in a corded phone and could not duplicate the interference. It's almost as though the cordless picks a different channel each time it's activated, and some of them are really noisy. To answer the obvious, no, I don't have a wi-fi network in the house, but I can't say for sure if there are any in the neighborhood. I do know that my wireless-capable laptop has never detected any other networks, even when I walk up and down the street with it (which gets me some nice looks from the neighbors...). Do I need to replace my phone, or is there another solution? :coffee:

I hope I can make sense of this so you all understand my dilemma... I have done an addition to my house. I have one phone line into my house that works and we have it spliced to a cat5 cable that goes to my first phone outlet in the wall. The my electrician ran another cable from that location to my next location and then there is a third cable ran from that connection to a final third location. I also have cat5e data cables ran to each outlet to one outlet and they all are home runs to where I am going to have my router installed. I am familiar with punching down the cables for the data connection at each jack but I am not sure how I can daisy-chain the phone lines from one jack to the next. I purchased standard USOC punchdown phone jacks for each outlet. When I connect the existing phone line to the first jack, I get a solid dial tone. The next part is what I am not sure about. How do I connect and where do I connect the next phone line to that jack so that the phone line continues on to the next jack and so on? If I try and punch down the phone line on the same colors to go to the next jack, I do not get a dial tone on the next jack or the first jack. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
