   Wireless internet doesn't work when cord

   Lately I've been losing wireless network access when the cordless   
   phone is in use elsewhere in the house.   
      
   My PC is connected to a 5GHZ wireless Pace/U-Verse home Gateway VIA   
   Netgear dual band USB adapter.  The cordless phone base station is   
   5.8GHZ sitting right next to the wireless gateway, and is VOIP   
   connected to the gateway.  Another PC is using the same model of   
   Netgear adapter 10 feet away from the gateway (also on 5ghz) and it   
   has no trouble accessing the internet at that same time the cordless   
   is in use.   
      
   I haven't tried switching over to the 2.4GHZ radio on the PC during   
   the outages (didn't think of it until now), but I know my Android   
   phones have working 2.4GHZ wireless during the lone PC outage.   
      
   This just started happening out of the blue after 6 months of the same   
   setup.  Is there an easy explanation for this?
