There are eleven possible frequencies in the 2.4Ghz band for wireless LANs. You should be able to configure your router to use a different frequency.

You would have to check your router documentation as to how to do it. -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
