I had some old type Beocom 6000s conected but whereever I placed the base station or the phones, I got interference with my wifi for my home netwrok, they are now in a box in the shop and my network is a dream.

Dilznik, the hard way is the best way. Its more hassle to run cables but thinking about is worse than doing it. Wirless set ups either work or they do not and it varies from house to house. Personally I would run the cables and enjoy the link!

Ha! Necrothread! After reading the thread last year, I drilled big holes in the offending walls.  All is fine and good sound is had.

OK, so I'm not the only one.

Been very disappointed in the wireless.  Have used a pair in two different 1-bedroom apartments in two different countries and they consistently sucked in both cases.  The signal would come in and out, causing my Beo4000s to click on and off repeatedly.  But then sometimes it worked fine and I loved it... how frustrating...

Oh, and the latest thing in my Germany apartment... it causes my iMac to lose connection with my wireless router.  Wow.

Try to keep the wireless units as far away from your other wifi stuff as possible.  Try to minimize the length of the wireless path.  Try to avoid metal objects in the wireless path (ductwork, plumbing, etc.).  I realize this last part might be tough in Germany where many apartments are constructed of reinforced concrete (which has a metal rods running through).  Be creative in trying new and different placements (on the wall vs floor, parallel or perpendicular to each other).  Unfortunately, wireless is subject to the laws of physics which do not always work in our favor.

If it bothers your WLAN connections, try configuring the router to use a different channel.
