Many purchasers of a Linksys router complain about the interference between the wireless network and a 2.4 GHz phone system. One thing you can do to fix this problem is to change the channel of either the linksys router or phone so that they use different channels. Another thing you can try is to move the router and phone's base station further away from one another.

Linksys routers can only work with external cable or DSL modems featuring Ethernet ports. These routers are not compatible with dial-up modems, modems featuring USB or RJ-11 connections, ISDN, or satellite connections.
