Interference and routers

I currently live in a 300 unit condo complex. I'm running a netgear wgr614 router. The router works fine in the morning and late at night.

My router overlooks my computers(I can see the attenae from my computer chair). The distance isn't very great maybe 15 feet.

However, I have problems with connectivity during primetime hours. I kind of think that I'm getting interference from my neighbors 2.4 ghz phones, microwaves etc. I really don't need the range just something that can work with all the other devices going off. I saw the Netgears ad for the Rangemax router which says it does a better job with interference than standard routers. Would this actually help? Is there a better wireless solution besides moving ;P.
