BACK TO TOP Will the EarthLink network interfere with my home network?

EarthLink® High Speed - Frequently Asked Questions
Wireless networks are designed so that the user has more than one option to make a network connection. Access points communicate with wireless clients over a common channel frequency. In order to avoid interference, adjacent access points are set to non-overlapping channels. In the US, those channels are 1, 6, and 11. If you are detecting interference between your wireless home network and EarthLink Wi-Fi, change the channel of your home access point to prevent cross-talk.

Should I use a firewall if I have more than one computer in a home or small-office network?

Firewall: FAQ
Yes. If you have more than one computer in a home or small-office network, you should protect every computer in the network. Turning on Windows Firewall or another firewall on every connection will help prevent the spread of a virus from one computer to another in your network if one of your computers becomes infected. However, if you open an infected e-mail attachment, the firewall won't block it and it can infect your computer. You should install an antivirus program as well.

Will my microwave oven or cordless phone interfere with my wireless network?

Freedom Wireless: The Wireless Network Experts: FAQ
Microwave ovens and many cordless phones operate in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the same radio spectrum used by wireless networks. That means they can cause interference — but in most instances this will just slow down the wireless connection; it won't stop transmission or break the connection. To reduce interference, you can move a 2.4 GHz cordless phone away from your wireless equipped computer or base station. Interference usually only happens with older microwave ovens.

FAQs
The Case gigabit network has an unusually large amount of bandwidth, which allows it to be subdivided into VLANs, which stands for Virtual Local Area Networks. The voice and data traffic move on separate VLANs, so that they won't interfere with each other. It's true that they share many components of the network, like the Cisco routers and switches.
