This works for a lot of people: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304

Excerpt:

Check to see if your screen brightness is set to the lowest level by going to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper. If brightness is at lowest level, increase it by moving the slider to the right and set auto brightness to off.

Screen brightness affects wifi reception? That is a weird link.

The thought is the code for screen brightness also affects the power of the wifi radio. Bring down the screen brighness and power down the wifi radio.

Good thing Apple does not build houses. Your lights would dim when you flush the toilet. <ducking>

But it would be one hell of a cool house and it would do things you need that you never knew you needed before moving in.
