Default Cordless phone vs. Wireless Connection

Currently I have a wireless connection that works almost perfectly. The problem is that my sisters phone disconnects me every time she uses it. Whether I am playing online games, doing online homework, or just surfing the internet this it the most annoying thing ever! All I need is one measly little channel while her phone hogs all 12 scanning and scanning. She blows me off saying "i had this phone before you had wireless internet" My question is: Is there a way that I can disrupt her phone connection with static or whatever so that i can get some payback? Basically i want to make her as frustrated as i am. Thanks

My guess would be that you are using 802.11g wireless internet... This operates at 2.4 GHz, which many cordless phones, microwave ovens, and other appliances operate at. I would suggest either changing to 802.11a which operates at 5 GHz, or get your sister a new phone that uses the 5 GHz range. The phone would be cheaper.
