That's no snark. If she can reliably demonstrate sensitivity to -60dBm RF signals (nanoWatts - the typical received signal strength of a Wi-Fi signal), that's the equivalent of having discovered a new human sense on top of the 5 k

Thus recommendation #1 - Use 5GHz only. 5GHz propagation across walls is much worse than 2.4GHz propagation, therefore only nearby neighbors may interfere with your access point, and on 5GHz there are enough non-overlapping channels to choo

Wireless is OK, you just need to use it correctly. The trick is to treat it as a cellular system, and use the same methodology used to build cellular networks: (1) Use only 5GHz for Wi-Fi. Turn off 2.4GHz WiFi - it's an overloaded, noi
