For 802.11g, there are 3 channels available for use, and as you have
discovered and concluded, your problem is most probably being caused by
interference. Putting a repeater near the clients might help, but on the
other hand, might just end up increasing the RF noise. I would say that your
best bet would be to place the two interfering APs (there can only be two
of them since there are 3 available channels and you have 4 APs) out of each
other's range.
