Title: Wired vs Wireless
Post by: ceg3 on April 16, 2013, 01:31:36 PM
Over time, I've come think that with VOIP phone service (Google Voice currently) using wireless phones adds another level of potential issues and that you might be better off to stick with hardwired phones for best results.  Use wireless phones, but expect to have more issues. Anybody else think that?

More components, the greater the risk for problems. Its the same no matter what you are dealing with. It all depends on whether dealing with such a risk is worth the advantage.

Maybe, but there's also an incentive to buy quality products.

My Panasonic wireless phone systems have never had problems with landline & VoIP services.

Same here...DECT+ on 1.9GHz works like a charm, landline or VoIP (on OBI110)
You might be thinking 2.4GHz phones and 802.11n on the same band...that I used to have problems with...heck, your microwave is in the same range.

I solved that problem by never calling my microwave  ::)

Actually, when done, my microwave does display "Enjoy your meal" in its display. I'm not so sure the microwave is not trying to communicate with em, so I made a foil hat to wear.

MIT has tested these hats: http://web.archive.org/web/20130221181205/http://berkeley.intel-research.net/arahimi/helmet/
