WiFi issues with cordless phones and Orbi
Hi community I have been experiencing wifi dropouts when a call is made or received on a cordless phone system. The phone are DECT 6.0 and operate at 1.9Ghz, brand new system. This happened with two...
Interesting. VOIP via xfinity. Would be interested in hearing about that potential issue. As a datapoint, I somewhat recently switch to xFi modem to get the 1GB I was not utilizing, I don't recall if issues happened about then but first set it up not in bridged mode and just let the router get an IP from the modem. I switched to bridged thinking that the radio on the modem could have been the problem but it may still be serving up xfinitywifi, I toggled that with no apparent change.
Shot in the dark here... maybe a DSL filter on the backside of the modem?

My Panasonic cordless is also VOIP (Spectrum voice from the modem). I would think if line filtering is required,it would be internal to the modem. Certainly should not hurt.
I am confused again.
- Is the ISP AT&T or Xfiinity?
- This same thing happened with a different brand of cordless phone? (WiFi dropout when the phone is used. Every phone? Just one particular phone?)
- Any luck figuring out that 'rogue' 2.4G access point on channel 1? If your Orbi is on channel 10 that should not cause any overlap.
The ISP is xfinity. The issue was happening with both new VTECH and old panasonic. I have not fully debugged the channel 1 signal problem yet. Wiill keep you posted. Thanks for all the suggestions.
