In my experience, changing the default DNS servers, enabling sch_cake, and minimizing shared spectrum interference are the most significant improvements for a home WiFi connection. Can anyone think of an additional dimension for improvement, besides upgrading the link itself?

Depending on the hardware, you can upgrade the link itself with newer, smarter WiFi drivers. After pretty much solving the bufferbloat problem for wired connections, many of the same developers moved on to fixing WiFi, and some fruits of that effort are currently available in OpenWRT and LEDE.

By 'enabling sch_cake', I meant that I use sch_cake on my wireless router (which I flashed with LEDE). Sorry, I was a bit light on the details.
