I disagree on the antenna orientation, marginally. Yes, keep them parallel, but remember that each dipole has a radiation pattern of a torus around each one.

Depending on *where* in your house the device is, you can get more effective coverage by realizing right above and right below it's at its weakest.
But that's minor. I've only come upon two situations where that's come up.
