And the worst part is that the opposite isn't true. I can't see my neighbours wifi ;)

Luckily for me, my wifi coverage in the house is amazing. Also get 3 bars about 6 houses away on my phone lol.

I agree with this picture entirely. I can see the neighbour's wifi behind our house and the school's wifi across the street but I can't get a connection to my own lounge room wifi from a bedroom through two walls as the signal is too weak.

i think the problem is that most people use the routers given to them by the isp, which suck. if u go out and buy a decent one u shouldnt have this problem
