    Hi,
    Every time my house phone rings, the internet signal cuts out, spoke to Sky and they said to place the router directly to the phone line.
    Problem here is that there is no way to use an Ethernet cable from the ground floor in a shop to the first floor PC.
    They said to try a wireless adapter for the PC, question is what adapter should I buy?
    I`m in the UK and the PC is a Dell and has windows 7.

    Lots of details missing here?

    What kind of internet? Cable or DSL or ???

    What kind of phone? Is it cordless and what freq range is it running on?

    What kind of router are you running at home?

    This sounds like a DSL issue. Is a DSL Filter being used....?

    Nevertheless any good reviewed/rated USB Wireless Adapter should work fine.
