Over the summer I took the side of my server case off to clean dust out the CPU heat sink. With the machine back in place but the side of the case off the AP in my office was dropping packets all over the place. Download speeds went to about 30%. Case back on and speeds went right back up. Keep looking for EMI sources near the router. Mess with the antenna positions. If all the machines are having trouble then most likely it's something in that area, phone or otherwise. Good luck, Mark
