| | | Interference with wireless signal
So as the crow flies I live about 5 minutes from an international airport (yeah we actually have those in Canada).
Anyways my wireless internet signal keeps going in and out. Is it possible that the radio or radar signals from the airplanes and airport would interfere?
I know it is not my telephone since the former is far enough way and I don't own a microwave.

The planes fly right over my house so maybe their radio chatter interferes with my wireless signal? Just a thought...
I'll check out the link; thank you.

If the phone ever interferes - it is most likely your problem.

You mentioned an airport but you didn't mention whether or not you live next door to somebody who might have a Wireless router. Usually interference is caused by somebody setting their router to the exact same channel as yours. Every router I've ever used is set to Channel 6 by default.
Turn off your router and turn on your notebook and do a search for any wireless signals in your home. If you find any, check the Properties of the signal(s) to determine what channel your neighbors are using. Once you've figured out what channels are in use, log into your own router and set your channel appropriately. Do ensure you enable some sort of encyption for wireless and set your router password to something different while you're at it.

I remember, back in the olden times, when "wireless" meant "radio". Maybe I need to take another look at my birth certificate...

No one lives remotely close enough to interfere with my signal.
Is it possible for a phone to interfere with the signal just by being plugged in or do you have to receive or make a call?

I believe some phones may transmit a signal or beacon even when not on a call.

Why don't you try watching your signal strength and then unplug the phone to see if it works?
Also, you can try different channels and see if there are fewer problems.
