b and g networks both work on the same frequency. You probably have interfering networks. Try yours on 1, 6, or 11, those chanels have no overlap and should be clear of interference.

You might need to bang on your neighbours door, get him to switch to 1 and you to 11, that should help. He will be having the same problems as you.

Changing to an "a" network will switch you to a different frequency, though it will necessitate new and more expensive hardware. Though it will give you a 55Mb network.

I think a chat with your neighbour to iron out the frequency problem will resolve it. If you are seing his SSID is his (or her) network secure? Perhaps you could switch yours off and leech of theirs! Save you CM bill!
