7) Implement 802.11n in the product.  Congestion/crummier performance
as the band gets more crowded is exactly why n/MIMO/other newer wireless
technologies have been created.  Yeah, I know it's draft, yada, yada,
yada, but it's certainly baked well enough that all new wireless gear is
N now.  Get it done and I'll bet the problem, while maybe not solved at
the root cause, will be masked well enough to not affect most people.
