I didn't know there were only 3 usable 2.4 GHz channels. I did a quick research and you are right:

Thank you. I learned something new today.

Interesting!

There are only 3 usable channels on 2.4ghz. If you have a bunch of houses around you, it’s quite possible they are using up 2.4ghz. You can find this out by using a WiFi stumbler or spectrum analyzer to see how busy those 3 channels are.
Your money would probably be better invested on upgrading problematic devices to 5 ghz.
