NetStumbler is a very good tool but it will only read signals coming
from Access Points. It cannot read or detect signals from other sources
(read, sources that are not formatting the wireless signals as AP do). 
It still is possible that there is another source active on the 2.4GHz
band causing interference with your home network. This is something that
Wi-Spy (Chanalyzer) can detect. Unfortunately, this is not a free
utility. 

You can try setting the channel of your AP to 1, 6 and 11 consecutively
and test what the results are on each of those channels. I haven’t seen
a situation where the complete WiFi band was suffering from
interference. There is a good change you’ll find a channel that works
fine for you (if you really are experiencing interference).
