Hi, if you use Windows I recommend Wireless Netview. It will display all
wireless networks in your area and give you what kind of encryption they
are using, the mac address of the router, but most importantly, the
channel they are using. I found it rather interesting that most of the
routers in my range are on channel 6 and / or 11. That's because many
routers default to one of these 2 channels and no one bothers changing
them. So, I set my router to channel 7. No one else in range was using
it, and so the interference lessened a lot. The link for this neat
utility is below. Note that I've only tested this with Window-Eyes, but
it looks pretty standard and so should work with other readers.

Hello,
That depends on your area, use of chordless phones, microwaves, even
radio and tv receivers, as well as other wireless systems in the area.
test each of the available channels for about a week per channel until
you find one which provides the best / most constant signal.

I have the Iphone 4 and 4s, in addition I have a home wireless
network that is unsecure. My router is a Lynksis wrt54G2 after
updating the Iphone 4 to IOS 5 i noticed that the wireless
connection would just drop with out sudden warning, I had never
had that happen before. I have been back and forth with Apple and
ATT who both say its not the device, the iphone 4 is two years old
and I recently upgraded to the 4s I noticed the same issue the
iphone 4s could not keep an active connection the router...
Now, I do have a few computers / laptop connected just fine to the
router. Could it be that since the firmware is not up to date on
the router that could be the issue, or could it be the router
itself as maybe some security settings are not the "newest" or
settings need to changed to work better with Iphone's? I really
need help as I use my Iphone constantly and would like to be able
to run off wifi.
