Consider signal strength.
Most AP's transmit at maximum strength but many can be adjusted. Why broadcast to the whole street when you just need your lounge covered?

Good points. To add to that - the only channels that don't overlap tx/rx chamnels are 1,6 and 11. So if your neighbours have all channel 11 based units then change yours to 1 or 6. Sometime if you move it to something other than 1,6 or 11 then some wireless cards have stress seeing the WLAN.
