1. Optimise the location of the router
The placement of your router significantly impacts how well your WiFi signal spreads throughout your home. Ideally, situate the router in a central, unobstructed spot to ensure a more balanced distribution of the signal across different areas.
2. Implement a WiFi extender
In larger homes or those with multiple levels, certain areas may experience weak signals. A WiFi extender or repeater can enhance coverage by broadening the reach of your network.
3. Update router firmware
Outdated firmware can lead to performance lags or security risks that might compromise both the speed and safety of your network. Keeping the firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance.
4. Adjust the router antennas
The orientation of your router’s antennas influences signal distribution. Tweaking the angle of the antennas can help maximize signal strength throughout your home.
