I had the same problem. The phone and the wireless are both 2.4ghz. Additionally, my connections drop when using the microwave oven. As I understand it, channel 6 and maybe one other channel is the only option that works reliably. Changing your phone to the 5.8ghz is one option, but you might want to keep them at 2.4ghz and upgrade your router instead from B,G to N which I believe uses 5.8ghz. I'm thinking the same disconnects would happen if you upgrade your phone now and then your wireless router later.
My solution was to drop phone service to my house completely. I have a cell phone and hated paying for 2 phone bills. Now, no disconnects when the phone rings. Now... what to do about the microwave.
