Are your phones the 2.4 GHZ models? If so they are transmitting/receiving on the same freq...
You can channel the "channel" in your wireless device (router) to a different number (I think the channels are 1 - 6) OR you can get new phones... we change to the 5.8 GHZ models and stopped having problems... we had interference and intermittent wireless network disconnects.
:EDIT: to add - it is best to change your phones to the 5.8 GHZ and be done with it.

It could be that the antenna laptop is operating at the same frequency as your lan line, thus interfering. I'm assuming you have a cordless phone, probably operating at 2.4ghz...

Is the Internet signal coming in a DSL signal, and if so, do you have the filters installed as required?
Is the phone also a wireless phone? It's probably on the same 2.4 Ghz carrier that your wireless laptop uses. Try changing the wireless channel on the laptop, or get a phone not in teh 2.4 Ghz range.

no...not really,
You can access your phones frequency and operate at a higher or lower frequency.
Just adjust the flux capasitor
just make sure you don't exceed 1.21 gigawatts

That's one option. Are you using DSL? If so, the filters will prevent the interference.

Yes - that is the fixall
Go with the 5.8GHZ flavor - works GRRREEEAAATTT!!!Or - Echo can sell you a flux capacitor... you actually had me for a split-second when I read "you can change the freq. up and down..."

Comcast is cable internet - no DSL - DSL would be via Verizon...

Never thought about that! You are right, it would suck!
I know the computer wireless went with 2.4 GHZ because it penatrates walls and travels better than 5.8 GHZ...
We have had no problem with the 5.8 GHZ phones. I put the base upstairs and can go anwhere in the house or garage w/ no problems... I can also walk up to the mailbox (about 200' away) with little/no issues. The 2.4 GHZ phones I could go a bit further, but I normally do not carry a house phone outside too far away.

Most of the time, people realize their neighbor has wireless, and cancel their own ISP.
