Laptop looses wireless connection when anyone in talks on the cordless phone. What should I change (meaning channels on the router, rebooting the router, changing the SSID) to resolve this?

What are your router capabilities? (a/b/g/n)??? Phones run off of 2.2GHz ~2.4GHz frequency. Change the router to run on g/n and make sure that your frequency is set to a higher frequency than the phone is rated? Do you know what the frequency that the cordless phone uses (check the bottom side of the base)? Also changing the channel to a more stable, powerful channel is always a good option.
Simple, just look at the wireless phone frequency band(Since you cannot change this) and adjust your wireless router accordingly. If your phone is running at 2.4Ghz, then adjust your router so as not to be within this frequency even if you cannot get out of the 2.4 range, push your wireless router channel to the far end of that spectrum.

Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
