Im going to buy some Wi-Fi router/access point for my Internet
connection. My question is: can signal from Wi-Fi interfere with
Cordless telephone?

Yes. If you have a 2.4 GHz cordless phone there is a good chance of
interference. The newer cordless phones are 5.8 GHz, while the older
ones are 900 MHz. Either would be fine.

I can't use my wireless when the 2.4 GHz Panasonic cordless phone is in use.

I've just read I can change channels in Wi-Fi admin panel( between 1
and 11) and it should work then

Yes. Sometimes it causes my 2.5 GHz cordless phone to ring.

Yes. When my Panasonic KX-TG2257 cordless phone gets within about
10-15 feet of my WRT54G v4, I can hear "clicks" on the phone. When
really close, it's difficult to hear the on the phone. Similarly,
802.11b/g wireless tends to slow down or disconnect. Last weekend, I
relocated the external antenna on the WRT54G to my roof. Now, my
neighbors are complaining that their cordless phone is hearing clicks,
buzz, and noise.

There is still overlap and the phone changes its own channels anyway...

Just save yourself the annoyance of always having to hit the "channel
button" on the phone by going with a 900Mhz or 5Ghz phone.

Get a 5Ghz phone if your wireless is 802.11g/b or a 900Mhz (digital) phone
if your wireless is 802.11a/g/b.

I'm using 802.11a/g/b and 900Mhz digital cordless phones. They all occupy
the same air fine...

New 900Mhz digital, not an old 900Mhz analog unless you want your neighbors
to able to listen in...
