Phone Vs. Router : An Epic Battle

Our phone and wireless router are both on the same frequency. Can you imagine the trouble this causes? If I am online and the phone rings, the internet cuts out. it's very annoying becuase several times a day I have to repair my internet connection which can take from seconds to minutes each time.

Our options are pretty clear. Either the phone or the router must be switched for one with a different frequency. We bought our phones on sale, they were the display models, but even so they were an expensive set - for good reason, they have loads of features on them. Including a phone directory of over 100 that I would have to reprogram if we got new phones.

On the other hand, the router is.. well boring. I have no attachment to it, other than I store my wedding rings on its antenna and I would miss the antenna should it go.

So...We could save a lot and just buy a used cisco router online...or get a cool batman shaped phone.

I wonder which will win in the end?
