do you have a wifi scanner by chance? heck better yet, do you have an SDR? you can see just what is there. dont forget it's not just computers that use the 2.4gig band... there's baby monitors and cameras etc and those chinesium ones dont care if they're in the wifi portion of the band.
for exampl. stick a hobby 2.4 gig or 5.8 gig video receiver and drive around the neighbourhood.. you'd bee surprised what cameras you can find lol
