While there are technically 11, only three of them should ever be used in the U.S. (1, 6, and 11).
Wifi reception issues are a big pain to deal with unfortunately. Depending on the situation, a repeater could help in whatever room is in between the room where the router currently is and where his roommate can't get reception. If the roommate happens to be using a desktop computer, a powerline network could be effective as well and would completely work around the wifi issues.
