One thing I've often done for home/soho wifi setups is to use more narrow bands... instead of whatever the max signal band size is, I'd use a step down. This has generally resulted in a more consistent and stronger connection. It may not have as much max throughput in theory, but the experience has usually been much better.
Just my own experience.

There are other benefits to shrinking the bands as well, particularly because interference is rarely just flat across the entire band. The other big thing to do is disable the lowest basic data rates. Certain frames from the AP must always transmit at the lowest speed a client can be connected at and sometimes it's better to just let the client at the far edge lose connection than try to hold on to a poor connection at the detriment of everyone else with a good connection. Concepts like "airtime fairness" (or different jargon depending on the AP) also help prevent laggards from unduly tanking everyone.
