In the US we use 11 channels for G. the reality is there are only 3 unique channels: 1 6 and 11. rest are mixtures of the 3. (transmit on one, recieve on another.

u might try switching channels. it could be u are having interference from some house nearby on the same channel. auto-select is often just random and not optimum.

i'd try switching to the unique channels first.
