Had a house 2 months ago that had a Baby monitor, cordless phone system, whole 
house intercom, and a cheap wireless surveillance system that all used 2.4.  

Setup a switch and wires instead of wireless.  If they unplugged 2 of the 4 we 
could get a signal and wouldn't you know their phones that they had been 
calling weekly and griping at the phone Co. go lots better.
