Use Directional Antennas. Omni's are Evil.
Powerlines wont be a problem, so dont stress.
Remember that most antennas are "tuned" for channel 6, because its the middle of the range. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing.
good) great signal
bad) everyone else knows this, so lots of noise.
Try scanning from both sides of the link to see what other equipment is around. If you can, pick a channel thats isn't being used (if possible, it should be more than 1 channel away from everything else on both sides)
If your AP's support Channel 13 and 14.. Try them first!
Much of the older equipment cant get to those frequencies, so you'll get less interference if you use them.
After changing the channel, check your signal strength. Run a throughput test and make notes of the latencies. If you have to, do this for all the Channels your equipment can support.
