If you're worried about other networks then the simplest thing to try is to change the channel of your network from the default. When we got the Wii last year it simply would not connect reliably to our network (on the default channel 6) - out of desperation I changed the channel to 11 and everything worked perfectly, instantly. (Of course it didn't improve the Wii's awful online experience but you can't blame that on spectrum...) For other devices it's harder... you may have to replace them with models that either don't interfere as much or use a totally different band.
