    Which router? You should be able to change the frequency used to any one of 13 channels. Have you encrypted the wireless network?

    You can try changing the channel on the router but usually if the DECT base is far enough from the router or the wireless laptop you should not get any interference.

    I have this problem too. I have tried moving the router and phone base well away from each other without any effect. How do I change the channel. I have a linksys wifi?

    UPDATE: I think I've found it in the setup menu.
