You can change the channel of the signal from your router's
configuration screen. It is probably set to 11 - try setting it to 6.
Or vice versa.

I tried changing the channel, but no change. I have disabled the wireless
while I was away from the computer then re-enabled it upon returning. That
seemed to work for awhile, but no longer. I don't get it and I can't find an
answer. The only thing that works is to re-boot the computer then everything
works fine.
