USB goes Wireless - Wireless USB

Dude, the article you posted was back in 2003... did they even have 5.8Ghz phones back then? Here's a quote from the article:
"Additionally, UWB signals don't interfere with household items such as cordless phones and garage door openers because they operate on different frequencies -- UWB signals use the 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz frequency range. Household items don't operate above 3.1 GHz."

I believe 5.8 is smack dab in the middle of the 3.1-10.6Ghz frequency range.

Reason I ask this is because my 2.4Ghz wireless network was rendered useless when I made a phone call with my 2.4ghz phone... Or should I say I *used* to have this problem.

my apologies - I mistook that for 2.4. Some of hazards/evils of speed reading.

Will check and revert back.

As far as your problem with 2.4 ghz goes - You could always have changed channels in your wireless router where in they give you choice from 1-11 or 12.

Yeah, I tried them all but they didn't make much difference. Oh, I also forgot that your microwave will interfere with a 2.4Ghz network too.

lest we forget about big water fish ponds as well which again impede signal.
