    Try changing the channel. Use an extended channel (above 11) if supported.

    If you can change the phone's channel, do that, too. Try to set the telephone and the wireless as far apart on the wireless spectrum as you can to cut down on interference.

    Also keep in mind that wireless controllers from game consoles can also cause interference.
