Ugh, the last message was sent before I intended...

You should set your wireless equipment on a non-overlapping channel different 
than those around you. From the screenshot you gave, channel 1 looks to be 
about the best bet.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of 'Sitecom' stuff. Is that a local WISP? It is very 
likely the amount of traffic on those AP's alone accounts for the interference 
you're seeing.

You may need to check your antenna orientation also. Typically, on 
omnidirectional antennas, the signal is radiated at a perpendicular angle to 
the antenna orientation. So, if your antennas are pointed straight 
up(vertically), signal should be coming horizontally. This is an oversimplified 
view, but roughly correct.

I'm not a wireless "expert", but I hope these tips give you a few items to go 
on for better performance.
