One thing that could help might be to change the wifi channel that your router i
s using.  If there are many other wifi access points in your area, using a diffe
rent channel can help deal with interference, especially if everyone else is usi
ng the default wifi channel.  I've heard it recommended to use either channel 1,
 6, or 11 since they don't overlap in frequencies.

Also, there are smartphone apps that will scan the wifi frequencies near you and
 show you which ones are being used.
