I can't stop my phone from echo-ing. I have wireless internet in the house but don't think that would interfere?? It's been doing this since I bought it and am thinking about getting another type of phone but don't really need it since this is fairly new (6 mths). It sounds very hollow to me but the person on the other end says they hear the echo.
What do you mean by echoing? like what you say echos? if so that happens to all phones even the best its just something youll have to get used to or get a new one thats less ..."echoy"

So do you have internet service at the house? If so you can plug the ethernet cable from the modem directly into the computer's ethernet port.
If you're talking about directly connecting to your cell phone, then the phone has to have the built in router in it. If it does, you can connect your computer to it wirelessly.
If you're talking about a regular old house phone (land line) then you would be very slow if you could get it connected. I don't think the newer models of computers even have a modem port to connect a telephone line into it. But basically you would still need a internet service provider to connect it.
Bear in mind that there is a difference between the phone cord and the ethernet cord. The phone cord is smaller in size and the end that plugs in is smaller.
Once the internet is switched on to a phone line, interference can become a big problem and a DSL filter is necessary at every socket where a phone is plugged in.
Some older equipment may cease working altogether even with a filter.
There is a limit to how much stuff can be connected to a single line and overdoing it is asking for trouble. Long and complex cable runs are also potential trouble increasers.
When there is a problem it is well to disconnect everything and start again. Connect the phone first and if that works ok reconnect the rest one at a time until the trouble recurs and if it does, stop there and do without any more...
If the phone doesn't work straight into the master socket even with a filter, there is probably a fault somewhere on the line...
The wireless signal is most likely your culprit. Wireless-B and Wireless-G signals operate at 2.4GHz frequency, which is the same that many cordless phones use.
Some wireless routers will allow you to change the channel that they broadcast on -- that might help your interference problem slightly, but it probably won't make it go away completely. Your best bet is to keep the cordless phone a good distance away from the computer and wireless router (if not in another room, at least on the other side of the room).
If there is a filter on BOTH ends of the phone line that is the problem. There should only be one plugged into the wall. Take the phone line and plug it into the phone side of the filter. The end that plugs into your receiver should never have a filter on it. Also I've never heard of a receiver needing to be connected to a phone line AND a router. You usually only need one or the other but not both.
The metal barn serves as a wireless interference. It reflects back the signal from your mom's house. What you can do to get a wireless signal if either buy a Wireless Access Point to extend the signal from your mom's house or just relocate the position of the satellite transmitter.
Yes, most wireless routers and laptop wireless connections operate in the 2.4GHz band... the same band that most cordless phones are in.
Even bluetooth is in the same band.
If you turn your all cordless phones off (including the main base unit) and the interference disappears, then the solution is to change your phones to ones which operate in the 5.8GHz band.
