Can a cordless phone knock out a wireless router?

Is my Panasonic cordless 2.4 ghz phone knocking out my Linksys Wireless G router? When ever I use my phone my wireless router will no longer work, ie I can no longer connect to the internet wirelessly. Is it my phone, do I need to buy a new 5.4 ghz phone? Anyone else experiencing this problem.

Wireless networking (and Bluetooth if you are interested) both operate at 2.4GHz so your cordless phone may well be knocking out your wireless. Changing the channel your wireless network is running on may help but quite possibly will not. If that's the case your only solution is to buy another cordless phone that operates on a different frequency.

Most certainly could knock it out, both run on the 2.4 ghz band, so that is in direct conflict. Maybe try changing channels, could also looking at a new phone, or maybe look at a newer N router, doesn't N run at 5 ghz? Or am I mistaken? Even if I'm right, you'd then probably need N cards so the phone didn't interfere with those as well.
