I don't mean to be rude or disrespectfull, but..

You are kidding right?

Glad to hear it will work okay with any line.
Just got to know,as long as router and phone are about three meters apart.

They could be 3mm apart they won't interfere with each other.

webcrawler - everybody starts off from nothing, you yourself included. This is a forum for innocents and maven alike.

Well, it's a standard phone, with a standard plug, so why wouldn;t it work in a "normal" phone socket?

Electrical radiation between the router and a Dect phone can some times knock each other out .
The best way to solve this would be to ask other members who have a Panasonic Dect phone and Virgin broadband if they have had any bother.

I have a Dect phone on top of my PC tower and 2 inches away from my router and everything works fine

Am I missing something? I've never ever seen that happen..

I have 6 Panasonic DECT phones one of which is adjacent to my modem & router & there is absoltely zero interference. They are also the best DECTS I have ever had ( and only Siemens are likely to be better ) so you have nothing to worry about.

People are on crazy pills. DECT is a completely different frequency band to wi-fi. Interference would be freak and unassociated to each other. DECT = 1880 MHz–1900 MHz in Europe whereas WI-FI operates around the 2.4 GHz range. your microwave is more likely to cause issues

I am very sorry to cause such upset to our members.
It was wrong of me to use such strong language that a router could knock out a Dect phone.
I know not to take notice of every thing we read on the internet, but these were some of the comments made by some people who had phone and routers near to each other and the phone cut when another member of the family were on line on the computer.
But as some of our members have told us this is not the case.
Sorry once again.
I will be keeping my Dect phone and Virgin.
I will now stand in the corner

Thankyou very much mightymagpie99
Thats all I wanted to know in the first place.

Correct, and wouldn't cause a problem if the filtering on these devices were decent quality and rejected all harmonics of the frequencies In fact a harmonic is more likely to interfere than lets say a microwave which is using the bottom part of the same band

So yes a router can knock out a dect phone and vice-versa the same way as a dect phone near a television can cause problems or a mobile near your speakers...
