If you are suggesting an AP you could suggest that they purchase
an AP that supports 802.11a if their laptop supports 802.11a. That
way there would be more than 3 channels and therefore the possibility
of less interference.
Along the same lines, if they purchase an 802.11n AP and their
laptop supports 802.11n (or pre-n) I would think that they would be
less susceptible to interference on the same channel since 802.11n
can discriminate batter based on direction than 802.11g.

Ideally, we'd want to provide them with some in-depth advice on how to
successfully configure a widely available "suggested" AP (like a
Linksys
wrt54g). A good model for the issues to be covered:

What are good tips besides "don't do it" ;-)
