How much does having wifi networks close together cause interference and slow down your wifi? If a house was hypothetically designed so the exterior walls acted like a Faraday cage to block your neighbors wifi so the only wifi in your house was from your own router, would you see significant improvements in network speed? I know that's a retarded idea because you'd also be blocking cell phone signals indoors, I'm just asking a hypothetical.
I'm curious because long story short, we just changed our internet package and for a short while we had the modem from the ISP with wifi built in hooked up in one room because that modem also was for the phone (>inb4 some comment about having a landline in 2016, it's for working from home), and another more capable modem and separate router hooked up in another room. The wifi on the more capable router became slightly better after turning off the wifi on the shitty modem/router the ISP provided. IDK if something else was causing the slowdown and it's just a coincidence or if having two wifi networks so close together really does cause congestion that slows them down.
