Re: [Line Problem] Cordless phone reboots my router!

The 655 *is* the most reliable router they make, but I have no fricken idea how that could happen. Well, except for coincidence, and on that note, is your phone plugged into the same power circuit as the router?

The only thing remotely close to this I can think of is whenever my mom uses the shredder my wireless mouse/keyboard stop working, but that's completely different.

IT *is* possible for the router to reboot if the interference is so wild that the router crashes, but I really doubt if that's the case, however take a good look at the logs page - if it shows a bazillion errors when you start using the phone.. yeah.

See, that's the crazy thing ... I've had this setup for months (since I moved in), and it worked great -- until my phone line got broken upstream and was reconnected. Yes, I realize it sounds crazy, which is why I'm still scratching my head.

They've worked together successfully both on the same electrical circuit and different circuits; they're right now on different circuits (across the room from each other), as they were before the repairs, when they worked fine together.

Unfortunately, the logs get obliterated by the router rebooting, but I'm going to try logging them to my Linux machine via syslog and hopefully some info squeezes out before the thing resets itself, but yeah ... totally bizarre.
