Already tried channel 1, makes no difference.

No WISP, just adsl-modem/router/AP combo's. Wireless AP's have been standard
for a while now in the equipment of the ISP's  that are placed at people's
homes. There will be a lot more since the local cable-provider is replacing
the current modem's with modem's that have a build-in router and AP.

Changing the antenna's position on my Senao ECB-3220, and even replace it
with a 9dbi antenna did not help.

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.
