Wifi interference between phone and desktop

Since I'm using Ubuntu I'm having problems with the wifi. It connects correctly, and I can use internet for some time, but suddenly the internet stops working. It says that it's connected, the icon tray is normal.

I have noticed that if I turn off the wifi of my phone and turn it on again, in the exact same time that it connects to the internet, the wifi on the desktop start to work again. It happens every time.

The desktop wifi stop working even if the phone is turned off, but the only way to make it work again is connect to the internet with the phone.

I have a USB wifi adapter and Ubuntu 15.04

How can I solve this?

I can suggest only one solution. If it does not work, then it is impossible to use this Ralink dongle with Ubuntu. Run in terminal:

sudo modprobe rt2800usb nohwcrypt=1

Then unplug and plug in the dongle again. If this helps, then get it permanent.

echo "options rt2800usb nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf
