Satellite signal receivers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nLooking at the list, it is noticeable that wireless equipment is dominating this issue. If any of the wireless equipment is working at the same frequency as your Wi-Fi router, signal interference is likely to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you doubt such interference, you should turn off the wireless devices one after the other and observe the change in signal strength as you turn off each piece of equipment. If there is a noticeable change, you should move your wireless router away from this device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reposition your router<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is the simplest solution to extend the range of your wireless router. Believe it or not, relocating your router can impact your wireless signal strength dramatically. We recommend you placing the router in a central position so that all corners of the house get equal signal strength. You should also keep it at a height so that it is away from any physical obstructions. Another important thing is that keeping your router in a drawer or closet is the worst idea as it suffocates the signal range. The ideal location can be a hallway passage that is central to the entire house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limit the connected devices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf multiple devices and applications are hogging your bandwidth, it can result in low signal strength. Activities like video streaming or online gaming can take up a lot of bandwidth and when such applications or devices are using your connection, you might face a poor wireless signal strength for other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look into the devices that are taking up extra bandwidth and limit their usage at the same time. When going for an important task like video conferencing with your boss, you should always turn off such activities so that you don\u2019t face any interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep your router\u2019s firmware up to date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nKeeping your technology up to date is always a smart option as new updates generally have some resolution for the old issues. You should keep your router\u2019s firmware updated so that it helps in obtaining the best wireless signal your device can provide. Some devices have auto-updates configured in the system and so you need to check your router for this great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look into your router\u2019s frequencies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you have a dual-frequency router, you are in luck as they offer you a choice of 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands. Switching to a 5.0 GHz band improves the quality of your signal significantly. There will be lesser interference from nearby wireless devices and your Wi-Fi range would solidify a whole lot better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reset your router<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAs absurd as it may sound, resetting your device actually works. If your wireless connection takes a dip often, you might want to try resetting it. If it helps and you have to use this option regularly, you should use DD-WRT that will help to reset the router on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buy a new router<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf all of this does not work, you might need to face the hard reality: you need a new router. Cheap or outdated routers cannot work efficiently long enough and so investing in a router that boasts good features is your last resort. Technology is evolving every minute and the great devices of the past are being obsolete faster than we ever thought and therefore, you should look at this opportunity to better your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employ a mesh network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are a part of a large household or everyone at home is a heavy internet user, a wireless mesh network might just be the key. It is a great way to ensure that you get a seamless wireless signal around the house. Mesh networks are designed to cover more than 1000 square feet of area which can be a single floor or multiple floors. They are responsible to transmit the same signal strength in your basement as well as the upper corner of the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
