You have been approached by the network administrator of the company whose office is adjacent to yours. He has advised you to move your wireless router. What would be the reason for such a request?

The most likely reason for such a request is because of signal interference. Assuming that my router and the admin's router are placed almost close to each other, they can cause interference. This can be a problem and usually is especially when we are dealing with older routers. If these two routers are using the same operating frequency and channel to broadcast, it might cause severe channel overlap and as a result, create intermittent Wi-Fi connections.
