I spend hundreds of dollars on a wireless network only to have a neighbor's
$5 made-in-china wireless phone destroy my signal. I live in the 'burbs and
the houses are close together. I'm sick of all the interferrence and flaky
connections. I'm seriously considering going back to wired. I'll just run
the cable along the baseboards and through the walls. It's gonna be a pain
to install but at least I'll have a stable connection.
The surest sign of success is pollution and unlicensed wi-fi is
certainly successful.
You might consider a directional antenna at least on the access point
end. It should be aimed in the direction you're working, and away
from any neighbors. Try to put a wall or two between you and them. As
John Navas suggested, better equipment and a different channel might
also help.
If you don't like running new cables, you can also use:
