A
weak wireless signal can be intensely frustrating - especially in your own
home. There are various things you can do, from adjusting the positioning of
the wireless router to adjusting the router's settings, to improve your
wireless signal.
1. If your wireless
router is on the floor, move it to higher ground. When the wireless router is
on the ground, the signal that it sends out often has to pass through more
objects to reach your device. Position the wireless router so it has a more
direct line of sight to more parts of your house. Additionally, position your
wireless router so it's not near other electronic devices or large metal
objects, such as a filing cabinet. Electronic devices that send and receive any
type of signal can interfere with your wireless router's ability to push out
its own signal. Large metal objects or walls that are heavily insulated can
also decrease the strength of the wireless signal or stop it from getting
through entirely.
2. Locate your wireless
router as close to the center of your house as possible to get the widest
coverage area. If your wireless router is on one end of your house and you
don't get a strong Wi-Fi signal when you're on the side side of the house, it's
likely because you're too far away from the wireless router.
3. Position the antennas
on both your wireless router or your wireless device so that they're pointing
at each other for the best possible signal. However, bear in mind that while
almost all wireless routers have antennas most Wi-Fi enabled devices, such as
the iPhone, don't have an antenna that you can adjust, so this may not be
possible.
4. If you're using a 2.4
GHz wireless router, try turning off other devices that broadcast a wireless
signal using that frequency. These devices include most wireless phones, and
baby monitoring and Bluetooth devices. Wireless routers transmit on either a
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signal band. Check the manual that came with your router if
you're unsure about what signal band it transmits on.
5. Change the channel
your wireless router is broadcasting on. By default, most wireless routers
broadcast on channel 6. Try changing to either channels 1 or 11. You can change
what channel your wireless router is broadcasting on through the settings for
your wireless router accessible through the software that came with your
router.
6. If you're tethering a
gaming device to your smartphone or other mobile device, you're likely to
experience incredibly slow speeds, as most gaming consoles don't support 3G, 4G
or satellite wireless networks. The only way to improve your wireless
experience is to either connect to a Wi-Fi network or an Ethernet connection.
7. Change what wireless
signal band you're using if your wireless router is dual band, that is, it can
switch between transmitting on the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz frequencies. If your
wireless router is dual band, you can switch what signal band you're using
within the software that came with the device.
8. Install a Wi-Fi signal
booster. Wi-Fi signal boosters are available for both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz
frequencies. Various Wi-Fi boosters are available that can boost your signal to
varying degrees, from a boost of a few percentage points to a boost of 500
percent or higher.
