    Be conscious that the radio on the mobile devices are not as powerful as in other devices, so all other things being equal a laptop will be able to communicate with the AP from further away than the mobile device.

    First thing I would do is download some sort of network discovery software, like InSSIDer for the PC, and see if anybody else has a network using the same frequency as you are using. It's common enough that the new neighbours move in with their new broadband connection, and fire up a router on the same Channel 6 as their neighbours on both sides.

    (Also this thread would probably be better off in the Networking section)
