I didn't really get new electrical equipment.
Thanks for the support.

My guess would be that they're also using a wireless network which is causing interference, but that's not supported by the fact that you've tried changing channels around and still can't find a clear frequency.
How many wireless networks can you see?
If it's only 2/3 it might be worth having a word with your nearest neighbours and seeing if you can come to an arrangement on channel allocation (1, 6, 13, or something like that) and see if that helps.
Failing that it's possible that they've introduced some sort of electrical equipment that's interfering, but I would suggest that's highly unlikely.
Your other thing could be (as I said) that the router or card are failing. Unfortunately the only way to prove/disprove that would be to try replacement devices.
I'm going to suggest (and be happy to be proven wrong) that the symptoms you're describing would be slightly different if someone were leeching your connection, but it's definitely worth making sure that you've got encryption set up on your wireless network as a matter of course.
