Channels 1 through 8 are in a ham band so you could legally run much
higher power than non-licensed devices are allowed.

I was able to make a very significant improvement in WiFi speed by
selecting a channel instead of letting the AT&T Uverse router do it.
Apparently, everyone around us is in "let the router do it" mode, and
they are concentrated in the middle of the spectrum [3, 4, 5, 6, and
7]. Last time I checked, ours and our printer were the only devices
on 11. Channel 1 is also almost clear. It's spread spectrum and the
channels do overlap, but 10 is also nearly clear for us.

One problem with wifi that is sometimes hidden is QRM from other wifi
users on the same channel. I live in a big apartment building and
when I look at the display of a "wifi analyzer" app on my phone, the
2.4 gHz band looks like 20 meters during the CQWW contest. 5 Gig is
better because fewer people seem to be using it and the signals are
attenuated more by walls, etc.
