A: That's because the cordless phone uses a frequency that is extremely close to your router's (somewhere in the 2.4 ghz range). Do you use wireless G or Wireless B? You can find out by looking at the box packaging of the router..most routers can use B and G, but some may vary Switch the router to use "G" mode, and try changing the router Wireless channel to either 6, 9 or 11 (see your product documentation on how). http://www.pcmech.com/article/clean-up-a-wireless-signal-by-changing-the-channel/
