    Wireless Router for High Speed Internet and ICD

    Hi

    I have a question......

    I want to install a wireless Router for another computer in my home. The wireless Router would sit at my desk, do those devices interfere with the ICD?

    The salesperson at Best Buy said that it works off the same connection as a 24 GHz cordless phone. But he did not know if it would interfere with my ICD.

    Thank you for any information, I appreciate it.

    I've never thought about this before, but the best bet would be to call the ICD manufacturer. They have the most complete list, I would think.

      It is not on any list I know of. I have had a similar system in my home for over a year with No problems at all.
