OK, here's the situation. My internet connection is through a 1.2 GHz wireless network. My cellphone, like all cellphones, of course, is on 800 MHz. My cell really has problems placeing calls from around the house. Does anyone have any ideas for a possible solution. No answers about not using the cell or disconnecting the network, please....

Are you sure your WLAN is 2.4Ghz, not 1.2Ghz?
I never have probs with my 800Mhz nextel around my WLAN

Hi,
Have you tried changing channels on your WLAN, do you have the option to change channels on your WLAN. I had an issue where my roller door kept randomly opening, once I figured it was the WLAN i changed it operating channel and all was well. Are you %100 sure its the WLAN, did you turn it off to prove its the source of your problem.
also try moving the location of your antenna and radio equipment to the shed or another location, run cat 5 back to your house. hope this helps
