You are setting up a new residential Access Point in your new home. You notice 10 other AP's, from various neighbors, in your current vicinity.

Please choose the best action to help reduce interference to your new AP from surrounding neighboring AP's:

Ask your neighbors to turn down their Wi-Fi signal strength. By doing so, this will reduce the chance of outside AP signals crossing over to your network.

Hang metal shades in order to keep outside signals out. This will give your house a "tinfoil hat" effect which will keep unwanted signals out.

All of the above (except for obviously none-of-the-above).

None of the above.

Change the channel on your AP to something less common. Ex: Channel 6 --> Channel 1. Most commercial ISP's use a generic AP that is configured the same across the board.

Place your new AP in the basement or attic. This will reduce interference by creating more "space" between the outside AP's.

Since most WiFi users are on 802.11g, or 802.11n, almost always in the 2.4GHz range; switch your system to 802.11a which is in a different (5GHz) range. which is generally less crowded, and has fewer other outside sources of non-WiFi interference

Explanation

Also the 2.4GHz range is traditionally more susceptible to other non-WiFi sources of interference as well - - - - - / upgraded and enhanced this question, because I thought the previous answer was actually wrong /zgz-2051230(btw I'm cisco-ccna-wlan, aruba, and cwnp.org: CWNA) // NOTE: for more on this topic 'google' "avoid wifi interference with 802.11a" however there is some support for the /Previous-Answer// - - - - - - - - - - - -> Most commercial ISP's use a generic AP that is configured the same across the board. By tweaking small settings such as the channel your AP broadcast on, as well as frequency, you may help reduce interference to your end-device.
