And in my case, that is EXACTLY what happened. I had 2.4 GHz house phones. I installed WiFi and the phones or wireless Lan would alternatively collapse. You cannot believe how utterly stupid I felt when I realized what was happening. I replaced the phones at ridiculous cost on the 5.4 GHz band and the problems vanished over night.

... if the inference problem at 2.4 GHz is as severe as you repeatedly state - how come the cordless phones and WiFi systems don't drown themselves out an collapse with their own sea of mutual interference?
Because they are less than 150 feet away from their transmitters. And that is 74 dB stronger than a signal coming in from 40,000 km away...
74 dB is something like 25,000,000 times stronger...
