Cheers for the tips everyone...
I've been experimenting with different channels using Net Stumbler.
I find that I can set my DD-WRT WRT54G router to channels 1-9 ok but 10 or above and the wireless signal seems to go completely, I have to connect with a CAT5 cable to change the channel back for some reason...
Anyway, I have two other routers in my local area, one's on channel 1, the other on 6 (the same as mine).
Channel 3 seemed to have the highest value SNR...about 50-60.
In Net Stumbler it shows noise as -100 and signal as -44. Does that sound good?
I've been looking everywhere on the net for a simplified summary of what the numbers should be for the best result, which should be high and which should be low...

Can someone advise? I believed that SNR should be as high as possible, is that right? How about Noise and signal on their own?
