Setup:
Linksys WRT54GS 802.11b/g
New Thinkpad with built in 802.11A/B/G Wireless
Tivo with NetGear MA1111 802.11b
For several weeks now I get no reception in my house, not even 3 feet from my router. I tried differnt channels, 1-10 have zero chance of success. Channel 11 has about a 40% change of connecting and a 5% chance of staying connected longer than 10 minutes. I decided to start to investigate by putting my router in my car and my laptop and drive around the neighborhood. I figured out that as long as i am 300 feet from a certian house my setup works fine. Moving closer to this house kills my connection, even when router and laptop are 3 ft apart. The home owner has 2.4ghz cameras that have a reciever on his tv so he can check on his babies without having to run upstairs every time they make a sound. I asked if he could turn them off for 20 minutes. After testing, internet is perfect again, 20 minutes later he turns them back on and my internet dies. Our houses are only about 75 feet apart.
The cameras he uses:

the cameras have 3 channel settings, he has 3 cameras, one on each channel.
Will a differnt brand router help? I do have a ASUS P5W DH mobo that has built in access point. It doesn't seem any better than the wrt54gs.
I have a neighbor next door that has a Netgear b only router and he says his works fine. Of course i don't know his def of the word "fine", but i have to assume it is better than my network, as mine is impossible to connect.
Is there anything I can do? The card in my laptop is 11a Athros compatiable. Should i start looking for a Neatgear a/g router?
