Simon, Usual RF best practice applies. Any reception will only be as good as the antenna and its positioning.
My advice is for best reception is: - use an external antenna - get it as high as possible - the antenna should be designed to operate at the frequency of reception - make sure the SMA converter is the correct type, look up RP-SMA to find out the difference. RP-SMA and SMA are not compatible. You should be able to receive 2.4GHz WiFi signal from your router with a WiFi antenna but only if you have the correct converter as I think the WiFi standard is to use RP-SMA. Install some software like gqrx so you can see the signals on the waterfall. Hope this helps. Regards Simon.
