Next, avoid physical obstructions whenever possible. Any barriers along the
"line of sight" between client and base station will degrade a Wi-Fi radio
signal. Plaster or brick walls tend to have the most negative impact, but really
any obstruction including cabinets or furniture will weaken the signal to some
degree. Obstructions tend to reside closer to floor level; therefore, some folks
prefer to install their wireless access point / router on or near the ceiling.

Avoid reflective surfaces whenever possible. Some Wi-Fi signals literally
bounce off of windows, mirrors, metal file cabinets and stainless steel
countertops, lessening both network range and performance.

Install the wireless access point or router at least 1 m (3 feet) away from other
home appliances that send wireless signals in the same frequency range.
Such appliances include some microwave ovens, cordless telephones, baby
monitors, and home automation equipment like X-10 devices. Any appliance
that transmits in the same general range as802.11b or 802.11g (2.4 GHz) can
generate interference.

Likewise, install the unit away from electrical equipment that also generates
interference. Avoid electric fans, other motors, and fluorescent lighting.
