Fingers crossed that has sorted it out permanently!

I had a wifi problem at my sister's house years ago. It turned out that all of us using the wifi had the problem at the same time. I eventually noticed that it happened every time someone rang the landline number. The cordless phone base station was next to the router and I discovered that it was broadcasting on the same frequency band as the wifi so they were 'jamming' each other. I changed the channel that the router used and that sorted it out.
