I recently started having some issues with my home network. I live in an apartment complex, and when doing a site survey from my location, I pickup between 8 and 11 other wireless networks. Most are on Channel 6, with one on channel 11, and another on channel 8. We have an Airport Extreme, and it sits on Channel 1. The problem is we have recently been getting a lot of lag, and slow internet response times. I called comcast, and everything checks out (no dropped packets, and 45ms ping times). I tried directly connecting to the modem, and am getting very similar results. However, when connected through the airport to the internet, I can get up to 50% packet loss. So something isn't correct.
Here is the result of a ping -c30 192.168.1.1 command:

As you can see, just pinging my airport router, I get high ping times, and dropped packets. And this is sitting just 1 foot from the airport unit!
I have Interference Robustness turned on. I have transmission power set to 100%. I have the multicast rate set to 2. I have it set on 802.11 b/g mode. I have it set to filter out on MAC addresses, so only me and my roommates can connect. Could it be that there are too many networks in the area causing issues? We haven't had problems before, it just started recently. Any help is appreciated here guys, as I want to get things back to normal.
