Biznatch, to maximize without changing hardware:
Move the LinkSys higher. Make sure the antenna is vertical. Locate to minimize the number and thickness of walls between it and clients. (Consider the depth of an interfering wall seen diagonally.) Shut off the LinkSys, fire up your microwave (with water inside), leave your wireless landline phone off-hook, then use your clients to survey for interference. Choose one of channel 1, 6, or 11, depending on which is strongest and is furthest (in channel numbers) from interfering neighbors. Set the LinkSys and let the clients follow.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
