One thing that could help might be to change the wifi channel that your router is using.  If there are many other wifi access points in your area, using a different channel can help deal with interference, especially if everyone else is using 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.
