Do antennas have polarization, or was that a joke?
The router is on the floor, so often knocked on to its side, and often
straightened up again. Never noticed any change in any room (but never
tested it systematically...)

I did think to experiment with moving it around a bit; I imagine it is
just a metal girder blocking the signal, so moving it just 1m might make
a difference.
