Hi
I have a (actually 2) Uniden 4096 2-Line DECT 6.0 phones.
Corded base with a cordless satellite.  Using Vonage VOIP.
I believe DECT is 1.9GHz..

I get a TON of interference/clipping on the cordless, pick up the corded base unit handset and it's fine.

Is it my wireless 655?  Is there a setting I can change that will give me more signal separation?

The only other wireless item that I can think of in the environment is my wireless keyboard & mouse..
I have no idea what frequency those are on.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try another frequency (channel) on the router, see if impact changes...

Thanks
That seems like a likely move...

Sorry for being uninformed on this, but how do I get to there??

New or old Uniden phone?  It's not very likely that a DECT phone will interfere with WiFi; they are on different frequencies as you have observed.  Before buying a cordless phone myself, I looked into that.

I have a Skype DECT 6.0 phone and my DIR-655 on the same table; no problems.  It's worth a shot to try a different channel and/or shutting off WiFi, because sometimes the things that should not interfere, interfere anyway. 

The WiFi settings are on your Router's home page, under the Setup, Wireless Setup, Manual Wireless Network Setup.
