Hi,
I have obi200 adapter with freelinehome connected to Shaw Cisco internet modem which has integrated wifi router. From today my home phone and wifi does not work at same time: when i pickup my phone the wifi signal is disappearing and come back when hang up. i have tried port forwarding,  but no success.
Thanks

I don't see why using your phone/OBi would interrupt your router WiFi signal.  Are you using a cordless/radio phone with your OBi that might be interfering with your router WiFi signal?

Thank you , OzakeEdge,
You are right, i used Vtech cordless phone. I have changed and now no disconnection anymore. But why it is not happened before?
Now  i can not make outgoing call but incoming is ok. After dialing it says ''That password is not valid"? I use freephoneline.

Short answer could be no radio interference before.  Maybe the router is using a conflicting channel now.  Maybe new batteries in the phone boosted the signal.  Maybe new neighboring interference is compounding the problem, causing the router transmission to flail.  You might want to consider changing out the phone to remove the radio conflict... DECT 6.0 perhaps.

This is another topic that requires more information.  I'm not familiar with freephoneline.
