Do you feel as though your wireless network isn’t everything it could be? If so then now is the time for you to change that. If you follow this guide, you will find that it is easier than ever for you to not only get the result you want, but to also stop any unnecessary slowdown.

Choose a Good Location

One of the first things you need to do is choose a solid location for your router. Central locations tend to give you the best signal across your home and building. If you have a two-story structure or if you know that your router is on the first floor then make sure that you put it on a high shelf. If you can do this then you will soon find that it is easier for you to get a stronger signal to your devices on the second floor. If you want to make sure that you are not being affected by the signal of your WiFi or the radiation from electronics then one thing you can do is look into EMF protection devices.

Move your Router

Another thing you need to do is take the time to move your router off the floor. Metal objects, walls and even floors can all affect your home. Place the router on an access point and also make sure that it is free from any obstructions. You should also make sure that you replace your router’s antenna if you can. If you do this then you will find that they end up getting a higher gain. You can also aim the signal anywhere you want, so you can direct it away from things in your home.

Reduce Interference

Another thing you can do is try and reduce interference if you can. Interference is a big deal and it can really impact your wireless electronics. Be mindful of things like telephone wires, baby monitors and even microwave ovens. You also need to be mindful of garage door openers as they often use the same frequency. It’s really quite surprising how many things use the same signal when you break it down, it’s easy to see how it could be causing you issues.

Buy a Repeater

You may also want to consider buying a repeater. When you buy a repeater, you will soon find that it is a handy device that can be used to rebroadcast a wireless signal. This helps to strengthen the signal from your router to various areas around the home. The best thing is that you can place this just about anywhere and you can also configure them to meet your needs. Just make sure that you don’t drag down your network by not setting it up properly. If you are still struggling then it may be that you need to increase your internet package. This is very easy to do, and most of the time your network provider can come and do it for you while troubleshooting any internet issues you might be having.
