Ok, if you're both using the same wireless router (which does seem to be a possibility) then they will both have the same default channel, which would almost certainly be causing your problems.

While I think what else might be causing your issues, two slightly unrelated (but important) points:

1. You might want to change the default name of your router. That information can be used to target specific attacks, using known vulnerabilities, against the router.

2. Are you using WEP or some variant of WPA? If WPA, which one?
