Unless you're doing some high powered stuff on your internal network, N and even G are pretty moot. You're not getting better than 10mb into the house anyway, which is covered by 802.11b.
Have you tried changing your channel? Maybe a neighbor nearby using the same one? (And if he's not broadcasting an SSID, you won't know he's there generally.)

Re: WiFi Problems
Are you in a neighborhood with a Ham that works the microwave spectrum?
Hams have shared use of the upper part of "G" and can run 1500 watts output.
Compared to your measley part 15 100 milliwatts.
Or maybe it is airborne radar. Could swamp your front end.

Re: WiFi Problems
Fixed it!
Instead of having everything set to auto, I made it G only and forced it on ch 11. Now everything connects to it no problem.
I figured it was a trial and error issue, but the fact that I couldn't get a reliable connection suggests that there is some strong interference coming from somewhere.
As for G vs N, isn't N supposed to have further range with less interference?
