There are quite a few programs around that show who your wiFi neighbours are and what channel they are using so you can avoid.

I have never heard of some channels working and others not unless there is a hardware problem.

If you are using your network in Infrastructure mode, then you need to change the router channel first and the rest on the network should follow within a minute or so if their channels are set to automatic.

Google inSSIDer and Xirrus Wi-fi inspector.

Both have merits and both work.
