Router

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?

either get a wireless N router or a phone that doesn't operate on 2.4Ghz

You may be able to get some improvement by changing your wireless channel, maybe someone else can help clarify that.
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.
