Fors some reason, I can't configure my Airport Express.

I've tried manual and the assistant. When it gets to the bridge or private option it hangs. I've reset it to factory settings, but I seem to be doing something wrong. I remember back when I first set it up, it was a lot easier than I remember.

1. Got my iPad connected, but the AE keeps dropping on my Mac

2. It seems to me that updating to 10.6.5 lost the airport network name and password

I had to re-add them in System Preferences >> Network >> some_locations >> Advanced

3. I have my computer online again, but it still drops from time to time.

4. I learned something important tonight. It has to do with

interference on the channels. I noticed that all the other users nearby used either 1, 6, or 11. I moved my channel to 8 then 9 and I am able to stay online longer. It still drops, but not near as much.
