All you need sited in the pantry is router + Ooma + cordless phone base unit. All of which you don't really need to touch or use.
Just use the other 2 cordless phones which you will distribute around your condo. Don't need to use the base unit. Better yet, buy a charger cradle off ebay and you can use all 3 phones.
As to a potential frequency overlap, most cordless phones are 5.8Ghz (you can check - just look at the faceplate of phone, most likely it will state), which will not overlap with your wifi frequencies.
