Run pingtools on android and pick a WiFi channel that isn't being used in the proximity.

In 2006, it would have been netstumbler or kismet, and on 2.4GHz they're all in use in proximity.

In all of my WiFi routers, even the cheapest one, this is done automatically.

I was at a big corp a few years ago, none of our expensive Meraki was doing it automatically, which was ironic. I like visually seeing the bands and choosing one that appears open.

This requires polling, to see if any neighbors have installed new/shifted AP.
