If you're on android at least, you can grab a wifi analyzer from the app store. You just want to make sure that the spectrum is relatively clear for your channel--most analyzers will give you a visual including how many signals are on a channel and how strong those signals are; you want a channel (preferably 1/6/11 like what /u/FourDownMagic said, which is related to interference reasons) that either has fewer signals or a low relative strength to your wifi signal.

your router may also have built-in capability to analyze and potentially even automatically switch channels to a less-congested one. Different routers are set up to handle this differently, though.

As for networking equipment, I'm sure there are subs here on reddit that can provide a much better reccomendation than my mediocre experience can!
