Etisalat Travel Router USER GUIDE
Placement
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues,
and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from your Travel Router and your wireless-enabled
computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz
band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be
interfering with the Wi-Fi Router.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the
farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel
1 and move your Travel Router to channel 11. See your phones user manual for detailed
instructions.
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your
Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or
office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with your
wireless network.
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your wireless adapter to
locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user
manual), and switch your Router and computers to a channel as far away from other
networks as possible.
• Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest
connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless
devices.
