I have 2 WAP, one on each floor (floors 5 and 6) and we have had some sptty connectivity issues. I was wondering if changing the channels to 4 and 8 would be a good first step.

My neighbours were mostly on channels 3 and 6 so I'm sure why I was even having problems in the first place!?!

Those are "actual" results.

Despite what the author says (i.e. "I changed mine to 3. I immediately noticed an improvement in the quality of signal."), and despite what any given user may experience. Yes, let's all follow rote advice, and ignore actual results. I changed to channel 3 and immediately noticed fewer wireless problems--my wireless connection was much more stable. Should I stick to 1, 6, or 11 and suffer terrible reliability? Sometimes a little knowledge is worse than no knowledge at all. People like the above prove this daily.
