Wireless networking

I am considering connecting my computer, my wife's computer and my lasptop via a Linksys wireless router. I notice that it operates at 2.4Ghz. That is the same frequency as my cordless telephones. Will this be a problem?

Yup. Will be a problem. They will step all over each other, maybe. But there seems to be a Workaround.

Tip for 2.4GHz Cordless Phone Users
Worried about interference between your 2.4GHz phone and a wireless network? While the two share the same frequency band, there is lots of space for the two system to work together without interfering with each other. For 802.11 series wireless networking products, most experts suggest using wireless channel 11. (All D-Link 802.11b Wireless devices default to channel 6). This frequency is often outside the frequency band of most 2.4GHz phones. Also, in the 802.11b (2.4GHz) standard there are 11 channels to choose from, all but three of those channels are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels.
