Are you using a utility like WiFi Explorer to get a look at the visible competition around you from other networks?
It's a few dollars, but a good thing to have. Most modern routers allow users to "hide" their networks, so the utility may not pick these up, so it is very possible that there are other network around you that WiFi Explorer or other utilities cannot "see".
Cordless phones....which cause plenty of problems for wireless networks will not be picked up by utilities like this.

Keep this support document from Apple handy as well, since it has some suggestions for things that you can try to minimize interference....which is a lot more of problem now that it was a few years ago since there are so many more wireless networks in operation now. Unfortunately, there are no quick easy answers since we have only a limited number of channels available for wireless networks...the same as we had years ago. You get the idea.
