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.

Two or three brains are better than one! It never even occurred to me to just buy an extra cradle.
I spoke to the cable/internet company yesterday because we've been having other issues, and they're going to move the router out of the pantry in any event, so that's good.
As to the echo/interference: This is
the phone, and it appears to be 1.9 ghz. Anyone have any further troubleshooting tips as to getting rid of the echo?
