Dear Nelson, Have you eliminated the microwave ovens as a possible source of interference? I have seen them take down a couple of different flavors of wireless networks (they operate at the same 2.4GHz frequency range as the 802.11b based Airports do).
Also, I do not remember if you are using a PowerBook or not. If so, the problem may be in the antenna in the PBook. A couple of sources have said that if you open the case, and push down on the antenna, it improves reception tremendously -- Apple is taking this into consideration of the very latest models. You will only be able to get to one side of the antenna because the other half is buried in the gizzards of the computer.
