Wifi keeps tripping out, especially when landline phone also plugged in

My Wifi keeps tripping out on each of my laptops, even though the green lights on the router are glowing. This more likely happens when the landline phone is plugged in. It doesn't happen if I use the Ethernet cable - which of course means I have to sit in the hallway!

@cliveparker 

Do you have a cordless phone? If so keep the phone base unit as far away from the phone as possible. You could also try logging in to your router settings and change the wireless channel to see if that works.

No, it's a plug-in phone with a cable. If the shops were open I'd go and buy a cordless one! How do I change the wireless channel, and what to? I'm not brilliant with technology.

@cliveparker I have ran some tests on your account and updated it with wireless settings steps here.
