Don't forget microwave ovens... :) I'm currently working as part of a team on a city-wide wireless network (http://www.bristolwireless.net/), and we've discovered that if there's a couple of microwave ovens on in the blocks of flats, we loose some of our signal! If you visit a company such as http://www.solwise.co.uk/ (or your countries equivalent) you can also buy aerials that will boost your signal. it does, of course, depend on the type of Access Point/router and the connections on the back of it.
