Slow loading, chopping videos and endless waiting? Maybe your Internet provider is not responsible, but objects near the router. Just a few simple changes and your internet can fly.

We have almost all of Wi-Fi internet. However, its speed is not always what we would imagine. See what disrupts the Internet connection in your home.

Start with placing the router

The first thing is the location of the router. This is particularly important in large apartments and houses. It may be shown that a weak signal is that the device is located at the opposite end of your property.

Another problem may be the location of the router in the closet. The furniture effectively limits the signal range, which cannot then be evenly distributed.

“The most common mistake is hiding a router. People place it in cabinets or other devices. This is the fastest way to weaken the signal,” explains the expert.

Notice the antenna. Most often they should be placed vertically. In the case of multi -storey buildings, you can turn some horizontally.

Eliminate these objects immediately from the near the router

The greatest enemies of radio waves are metal elements. Internet connections can interfere with aluminum doors, furniture, window frames and blinds.

The signal covers are also household appliances such as stoves, microwave ovens, dishwashers. We should place the router as far away as possible.

“Microwave pipes work at a similar frequency to Wi-Fi, so they can disturb the signal,”

– Tells an expert.

Aquariums full of water can also block the signal. Water absorbs radio waves. Large houseplants may work similarly.

  1. Place the router in the central part of the household, ideally higher
  2. Hold the router further away from metal objects and electronics
  3. Restart the router regularly – at least once a week
  4. Update the router firmware
  5. Consider Wi-Fi Extender for larger households

– recommends an IT technician.
