In the age of the Internet, the network has become a necessity that accompanies ordinary people at all times, and internet speed has become the primary productive force!
Have you ever experienced slow network delays, with videos freezing like animations; random disconnections causing downloads to fail; or the embarrassment of restarting the router multiple times with no effect?!!
Here are 9 ways to help you achieve faster Wi-Fi, get started!
1. Place the router in the middle of your home
The wireless router sends signals in all directions, if you place the router by the window or in a corner, you waste a lot of signals.
2. Do not place the router on the floor
The signal from the wireless router will weaken as the distance increases, and also gets weakened when passing through certain solid materials (metal, concrete, cement). Therefore, it is best to place the router about 1 meter above the ground on a table or shelf to avoid interference from floor materials.
3. Place the router in the room you frequently use the internet
Being close to the router means a stronger signal.
4. Place the router in an open area
Since the Wi-Fi signal from the router can be absorbed by many solid materials, do not let it be surrounded by objects or squeezed into gaps.The ideal placement is where you can see it from any direction in your home.
5. Keep the router away from other electronic devices
All devices that use AC power will affect the router’s signal, including: microwaves, televisions, cordless phones…If the router is placed too close to electronic devices, don’t blame your Wi-Fi signal for being poor.
6. Maintain the best angle for the router’s antenna
The signal from the wireless router is propagated from the direction perpendicular to the antenna. In other words, if your antenna is kept vertical, your router’s signal will propagate horizontally, so do not let your router’s antenna be in a messy position.
7. Test the Wi-Fi signal and then adjust the router’s position
You can use Cloudcheck and Amped’s Wi-Fi Analytics software to help you detect the strength of the Wi-Fi signal in different areas of your home, which will help you adjust the router’s position more accurately.
8. Equip a repeater for large homes
If your house is too large (luxury), consider equipping a repeater behind the router. It can extend the signal further and wider.
9. Get a good router
If the above methods do not work, contact your internet service provider to test the external line, and if your router hasn’t been replaced in hundreds of years, maybe you should consider buying a new one.The technology for signal propagation has been continuously updated, and getting a new model router can provide wider coverage and lower power consumption, leading to a better experience and mood!
