There's something very weird going on in my condo, or the whole complex, maybe.

Every couple of hours, my WiFi connections will all drop, and I won't be able to connect to any (mine, or neighbors') AP's.  I figured it was just the congestion, since there are TONS of AP's around here.  Of course, they're all on channel 6 or 11, and I took 1.  I'm also considering moving completely to 802.11a.  2.4GHz is way too congested.

However, I've noticed that my Blackberry is dropping lots of calls recently, but only when I'm inside, here.  Today I was talking to a coworker, and I heard the A/C click on, and instantly the radio in my phone shut off, for whatever reason.

So, yea, I need to find out what's going on.  If it happens to be some component of the heating/cooling unit, I'll have to wrap that puppy in anti-WiFi tape.
